\"Bandits<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Suspected gunmen on Monday invaded Damba-Kasaya Community in the Chikun Local Government Area of Kaduna State and killed one person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of the residents of the area, including a JSS 3 student, were said to have been kidnapped by the gunmen who arrived in the community on motorbikes at about 8am.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was learnt that the bandits<\/a> had operated at the village where they abducted many before finally invading the Prince Academy where they picked the JSS3 student.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A villager was said to have been shot by the bandits while chasing them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a resident of the area, Mallam Bawa Wakili, the gunmen came in large numbers and shot sporadically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also said the gunmen broke into the Aminci Baptist Church within the community where they destroyed musical instruments, including the public address system valued at thousands of naira.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wakili said, \u201cThey abducted many people in the village, then they went to Prince Academy and abducted many of the students who were receiving lessons for their JSS3 exams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI cannot say how many people were kidnapped, but they went away with many people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe villagers, not knowing that the soldiers had been withdrawn, kept pursuing the bandits in the bush, the bandits fired at them and one person was killed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Kaduna State Police Command had yet to confirm the incident as of press time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
