Bandits on Tuesday night, struck at the Millennium City Kaduna and kidnapped the wife of a military officer and six others at the Keke \u2018A\u2019 and Keke B communities.<\/div>\n
\nAlthough the Kaduna State Police Command\u2019s Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), DSP Muhammad Jalige was yet to confirm the incident, people in the affected area told journalists that the hoodlums attacked the communities at about 11pm.<\/p>\n

According to a resident, \u201cthe bandits operated for about an hour before security operatives came. They went away with 3 persons at Keke \u2018A\u2019. They targeted a big house in the area.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe bandits came around 11pm. I think their main target was a house at Keke A. The house belongs to a military officer. But the time of the attack, the officer was not at home. So, the kidnappers broke into the house and picked his wife.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThey also kidnapped another man who is the immediate neighbour of the military officer. In fact, the neighbour was picked alongside his 8-year old daughter, but they eventually dropped the daughter when her mother was shouting on top on her voice.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it was at the point they started shooting sporadically to scare away people who might think of coming to their aid.<\/p>\n

While all that was happening, another man who was just returning home in his car ran into the kidnappers. He was the third person that was taken away.<\/p>\n

\u201cOther people who were still outside including neighborhood shops operators escaped the bandits, as they had to run to safety. As at this morning, we saw many shoes on the ground and we became scared that, those must be the shoes of the people kidnapped. But, one of the people who escaped the attack told us the shoes belonged to those who ran away.\u201d<\/p>\n

At Keke \u2018B\u2019 , a resident\u00a0 said\u00a0 \u201ca man, his wife and their two house girls were kidnapped by the bandits. I was so terrified. I just got out of the bathroom abruptly and switched-off all the lights inside my house. The gunshots were so close, it was like the bandits were inside my compound. I later discovered that one man, his wife and their two house girls were kidnapped.\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
