Some terrorists have killed a soldier and abducted a Zimbabwean, including two farm workers farming in Anchau town in the Kubau Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
The incident was said to have occurred on Wednesday.
According to a source, security operatives are currently combing nearby bushes in search of the abductees.
Details of the incident were sketchy at the time this report was filed.
Neither the state government nor the state police command confirmed the attack.
Recall that four weeks back, several villagers in Damari town under Kazage Ward in the eastern part of Birnin-Gwari Local Government Area of Kaduna State flee their homes en masse, after bandits dislodged members of the Ansaru terrorist group last week after a fierce fight.
A local union said at least 50 persons have been abducted by the bandits in the last three days.
The locals believed that Ansaru members were lesser evils compared to bandits abducting people for ransom, looting property or killing those who show little resistance to their excesses.
The villagers recently came under attacks by bandits that besieged the farming community on a “vengeance mission” over last week’s clash with Ansaru terrorists in the area.
The terrorists, who had been protecting the communities from the bandits, had relocated from the area days after a deadly clash with bandits, which resulted in casualties from both sides.
Sources said the Ansaru fighters had moved to communities in Danmusa in Katsina State and parts of Zamfara and Sokoto states.
“It’s not yet clear if they’ve finally relocated or they’d seek reinforcement and come back in the coming days,” a native of the area said yesterday.
It was learnt that most of the relocating locals passed through Unguwar Gajere towards Layin Dan’auta where the district head lives.
The source said, “For now, the bandits are in charge and are having a field day attacking our people.”
