- A community leader, who preferred anonymity, said security operatives were close to the attacked areas but did nothing to stop the bandits.
A community leader has been reportedly killed in a fresh attack on Gashe community in the Federal Capital Territory.
The Mai Anguwa of Gashe community, Mr Philibus Andrew was shot dead by the rampaging bandits during the Wednesday attack on the enclave.
The attack happened around 11pm, according to a resident, Musa Bala, who confirmed the incident, said.
He disclosed that the bandits, who stormed the community in their large numbers, were armed with sophisticated weapons.
He disclosed that the bandits first attacked the community leader’s house and shot him dead before proceeding to a neighbour’s house and abducting one Mr Abraham Dangana, his wife, eight children and three relatives, adding that the bandits also burgled shops and chemists.
He said that the bandits also invaded neighbouring Badeko village on the same day and abducted 10 people.
A community leader, who preferred anonymity, said security operatives were close to the attacked areas but did nothing to stop the bandits.
“You can imagine that there are security operatives stationed at Bishini Junction, Katari and Nasarawa LEA Primary School, yet the bandits operated for hours without any response from them.” he said
The spokesman for the Kaduna State Police Command, SP Hassan Mansur, did not speak on the incident
