Terrorists, locally dubbed as bandits, kidnapped several traders on Friday morning in the Birnin Gwari local government area of Kaduna State. A source in Birnin Gwari, the local government headquarters, confirmed the incident. According to the source, the traders were travelling in a golf car to the weekly Layin Danauta market in Birnin Gwari when the attack occurred. The exact number of victims remains unconfirmed, as such vehicles are often overloaded beyond their official capacity. "The bandits intercepted the car at Kwanan Danwandara in Tabani Ward, Birnin Gwari, and abducted all the occupants, including the driver," the source stated. "In the same vicinity, they also kidnapped two individuals on a motorcycle, taking all the captives into the forest." The incident took place around 8am. The traders in the vehicle were reportedly coming from the Dandume area of Katsina State, while the two individuals on the motorcycle are from Kuyello Ward in Birnin Gwari local government. Bandits in Kaduna State continue to strike with seeming impunity, as another attack occurred on Wednesday night in the state. It was learnt that in the incident, gunmen abducted nine locals in the Kajuru Local Government Area. A source from Kasuwan Magani confirmed the tragic incident. According to the source, the bandits attacked Rafin Roro village, shooting sporadically. The traditional ruler of the village, Mallam Adamu Auta, escaped, but nine members of his immediate and extended family were kidnapped. The source added that the bandits had been consistently kidnapping residents and rustling cattle, incidents that have largely gone unreported.
