Barely a week after the abduction of 177 church worshippers in the Kajuru Local Government Area of Kaduna State, bandits have again struck in the area, abducting six residents of Unguwar Barkonu in Maraban Kajuru.

The latest attack occurred in the early hours of Sunday in Kufana Ward, even as the Christian Association of Nigeria held special prayers for the safe return of the previously abducted worshippers.

A resident of the community, Steven Kefas, said the armed men invaded the area around 1 am, breaking into several houses and abducting six residents.

“Bandits stormed our community at about 1 am, broke into houses and forcefully took six people away to an unknown destination,” Kefas said. Punch
