In a disturbing early morning incident on Thursday, bandits kidnapped at least 15 persons from Mani Village, located opposite the Indomie factory in Rido Ward of Chikun local government area in Kaduna State.
A local source, who wished to remain anonymous, revealed that six of his relatives were among those taken during the attack. The source expressed deep concern, stating, “Fifteen 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 are yet to hear from the abductors. They include a nursing mother with four kids, young persons, and an infant.”
The source appealed to both the federal and state governments to expedite the rescue of the victims, highlighting the ongoing security challenges faced by communities in the Chikun local government area of Kaduna State.
