Suspected armed bandits late Monday night invaded Hunkuyi town, the headquarters of Kudan Local Government Area of Kaduna State, killing one person and abducting another.
Residents said the attackers stormed the community around midnight, shooting sporadically into the air to scare people before carrying out their operation.
During the assault, a local resident was reportedly gunned down, while another victim was whisked away into the nearby forest by the assailants.
The attack threw the town into panic, forcing residents to remain indoors throughout the night.
In response, traditional rulers and community leaders in Hunkuyi condemned the incident and appealed to security operatives to intensify patrols in the area. They urged government authorities to take urgent steps to strengthen protection for vulnerable communities across Kaduna State.
