Nine of Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar’s children and grandchildren, as well as three other residents of the town of Kagarko in southern Kaduna State, have been kidnapped.
It was discovered that the terrorists—who the locals refer to as bandits—invaded the palace at about 11:15 p.m. and made their way straight for the Emir’s home.
The attackers also killed one herdsman in Kuchimi village and looted seven shops in Janjala village, according to a local who talked with Daily Trust.
“They took away his youngest wife, nine children, and grandchildren, but the wife managed to escape and come back home,” he claimed.
“The gunmen also took three other persons, including a lady and injured one Audu Kwakulu of Ungwan Pah who is now at hospital receiving treatment.”
“The bandits also killed one herdsman in Kuchimi village and looted seven shops in Janjala village (both in Kagarko LG) on their way back,” the source added.
