Bandits abduct four farmers in fresh Southern Kaduna attack

Bandits have reportedly abducted about four farmers in the Libere community of Kauru Local Government Area of Kaduna State.

Aminu Khalid, the Dokan Karji youth leader, disclosed this to Newspot on Thursday in a telephone interview.

He said the farmers were kidnapped at about 12 o’clock while harvesting their crops.

Khalid lamented that the incident has caused panic in Libere and surrounding communities, with residents deserting their villages.

“These bandits have continued to occupy more villages in our local government area unchallenged and causing a lot havoc to the various communities,” he said.
