One person has been confirmed dead, while several others sustained injuries following a bandit attack on Idijiyi Unguwan Danladi Village in Kallah District, Kajuru Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
The incident, which happened around 8:00 p.m. on October 19, was contained in a post shared on Tuesday by security analyst, Zagazola Makama.
According to the report, the armed bandits stormed the community and abducted an unspecified number of residents.

“Other rescued victims, including Augustine Madara, 31, and Zafaniya Alhaji, 42, are currently receiving treatment in hospital,” Makama wrote.
