17 Residents Killed, Scores Abducted As Gunmen Attack Communities In Kaduna State
[SAHARAREPORTERS] At least 17 people were killed while 58 were feared kidnapped in an operation that lasted for six hours after button men invaded three communities on Tuesday night at Dawaki Ward in Kauru Local Government Area of Kaduna State.

A former Councilor of the Ward, Hon. Aminu Khalid disclosed this in an interview with PUNCH, adding that the three affected villages were; Ungwan Sako, Kunkurai, and Dokan Kaji Village.

He explained that some of the locals were able to rescue 20 Villagers in a gun duel but 9 Villagers were killed in the process.

He said 34 of the locals are still in their custody while contact was yet to be established with the terrorists.

He lamented the constant attack on their communities by hard boyz while calling on military intervention.

"The hard boyz invaded these communities on foot and took vantage positions at the same time. The hard boyz always come from parts of Kajuru and Kachia forest where their camp is. The camp is situated at Dutsen Magunguna In Kajuru Local Government Area of the state.

"Except for the Nigerian military which raided the terrorist camp, communities situated around the camp can never experience peace," Khalid added.

The acting Police Public Relations Officer, Mansir Hassan, could not respond to calls at the time of filing this report.
