Barely a week after the mistaken drone bombing of innocent people in Tudun Biri by the Nigerian Army terrorists have again reportedly raided another community in Kaduna State.
The invasion reportedly happened during the weekend in Kidandan community in the Giwa Local Government Area (LGA), of the State, about 35 kilometers from the state capital.
Nigeria Police Force, Kaduna State Command is yet to respond to attack. When contacted through the command’s spokesman Asp Mansur Hassan.
Information obtained from fleeing locals alleged that hundreds of the residents have already fled from their ancestral homes in the affected community in Kidandan, Giwa LGA of the State.
According to notices also obtained from Kaduna media group chat forum, fleeing natives stated that the group of bandits who invaded the community spent many hours shooting sporadically, killing some locals and abducted many others.
Survivors told journalists that the bandits have been terrorising the community, but became more aggressive because of the failure of the farmers to pay levies earlier imposed on them by the rampaging Bandits.
Recalled that over 120 were reportedly killed in Tudun Biri while more than 70 were hospitalised during the last week error bombing by Nigeria army.
“For the past 6 days, the bandits have been coming to Kidandan, but this attack was devastating. They came and terrified us, still and abducted our people. Every resident in Kidandan lives in extreme fear.,” a fleeing local has said under anonymity, for his security.
”Our women and children were leaving in droves. The number of those who embarked on this forceful and unprepared exodus would surprise you. They are moving to safety areas, perhaps to Zaria and other seemingly safe locations to squat with friends and relatives,” he added.
He also noted that instead of having a permanent security presence in the community, the operatives only came on patrol which had given the bandits opportunity to operate whenever they knew the security operatives have gone.
