At Mani, the hoodlums abducted a woman and her three children on Thursday morning.
According to a source from the area, six of his relatives were among those taken to the forest.
He said “19 persons were abducted from three houses in Mani village opposite Indomie company Rido Ward of Chikun LGA Kaduna state in the early hours of today (Thursday). I know the names of my relatives involved. We are in deep thought as I send this message, especially as we have yet to hear from the abductors. They include a nursing mother with four kids, young persons, and an infant.”
He urged the authorities to come to the victims’ rescue.
In a similar development, two months after the abduction of Kaduna-based journalists and their family members in Dan Honu II, New Millennium City of Chikun local government area of Kaduna Kaduna, bandits on Wednesday night attacked the community and abducted a mother and her three sons.
A source said the bandits attacked the house of Mr Mutiu Adeleke and abducted his wife and their three sons, leaving him behind.
“The incident occurred around 10 p.m. as the gunmen stormed the community, shooting sporadically unchallenged before making away with the victims. It was also gathered that Mrs Adeleke, who could not keep up with the pace of the bandits’ movement, was abandoned in the bush and had since returned home. But they left with her three sons, “said the source.
“After the recent kidnapping of the two journalists, Mr Adeleke had resolved to relocate from the community and had just secured an apartment in a safer location in the town two days before his family was attacked. Mr Adeleke and his family had started gradually moving their belongings from Dan Honu II to finally leave by the next weekend before the unfortunate situation befell his family,” the source said.
The Kaduna State Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), ASP Munsir Hassan, has not yet reacted to the incidents.
