In Kaduna State, Nigeria, bandits have struck again, abducting six residents in the Unguwar Barkonu area of Maraban Kajuru.

The Chairman of Kajuru Local Government Area, Rev. Enoch Kaura, expressed frustration at the lack of rapid security response to the attacks, highlighting the recurring security challenges in the region. The Kaduna State Police Command has not provided an official reaction to the incident, despite efforts to obtain a response.
