On Friday night, several bandits allegedly stormed Gidan Busa in the Doka ward of Kachia Local Government Area in Kaduna State, murdering two civilians and kidnapping 16.
A source who spoke on condition of anonymity claimed five individuals were shot and are being treated at an unnamed medical institution in the neighbourhood.
This follows the death of Isyaku Boderia, a feared bandit suspected of masterminding multiple high-profile attacks, including the kidnapping of Yauri schoolgirls, Greenfield University, and a breach of the Nigerian Defence Academy.
Troops from the Nigerian Army’s 1 Division on Wednesday, murdered bandit boss Boderi in the Bada/Riyawa general area of Chikun and the Igabi LGA of Kaduna State.
Following a heated fire fight, military personnel ambushed and neutralised Boderi and his companions.
However, on Friday night, gunmen raided Gidan Busa again, firing indiscriminately, murdering two people and capturing at least 16 civilians.
According to the informant, the event occurred at 11:30 p.m., while the people were deep sleeping.
He stated that no fewer than eight individuals were abducted in the home of one Alhaji Hassan, two of them were slain and others injured by gunshots.
He said:
“Yesterday night (Friday) bandits came to Gidan Busa and abducted 16 residents of the area, killing two while five sustained gunshot injury and currently receiving treatment in the hospital.
“In the resident of one Alhaji Hassan, the bandits abducted 8 persons including his wife and children and killed one of his boys and female. The incident occurred at about 11.30pm. Those that sustained gunshot wounds are receiving treatment in the hospital.”
