While concerted efforts are being made to rescue about 300 residents abducted in Kuriga and Goni Gora areas of Chikun local government area of Kaduna State, the bandits terrorising the state stepped up their game between Monday night and Tuesday morning and allegedly abducted another 30 persons in Buda village, Kajuru local government area of the state.

A source, who spoke in confidence, hinted that the kidnappers came in their usual commando style with sophisticated weapons and operated for hours unchallenged.

Lately, the state is becoming a hotbed of kidnapping and other sophisticated crimes most of which are underreported due to fear of the unknown.

According to the source, “a lot of criminal activities have been happening in Kajuru in recent times but leaders of the affected communities are afraid of coming to the press due to lack of security of their lives and that of their subjects.
