Inhabitants of Tashar Mai Tashi in the Dutsen Aba ward of Zaria Local Government Area of Kaduna State have reportedly been relocating to places they consider safe owing to series of bandits attacks on the area.
Within the last 48 hours, locals said bandits who invaded the community had kidnapped nine residents and taken them away.
“The bandits were many; they came at midnight, going from house to house. They took nine people-six men and three married women to into the Galadimawa forests,” a local source said.
He alleged that for the over one hour that they operated, there was no help from any quartres.
He said many were leaving the troubled community as the bandits who hide in the neighbouring forests, had turned the area into their punching bag.
There was no reaction from any concerned authorities at the time of filing this report.
