Bandits Kidnap Six Residents in Kaduna Millennium City

In the early hours of Tuesday, terrorists abducted six residents from Nuru Suraj Estate in Kaduna Millennium City, located in Chikun Local Government Area of Kaduna State. Military personnel intervened promptly, resulting in the rescue of some victims, although the assailants managed to escape.

This incident has heightened local fears regarding the ongoing security challenges, as Millennium City has experienced multiple kidnapping incidents. Notably, on October 6, Ahmed Abubakar Zakka, his wife, and their six-month-old daughter, Fatima, were abducted from Alrahus Estate.

A resident, Maman Hamid, reported that the attackers accessed the estate through its second gate, causing panic among residents. The number of victims rescued and the status of those still missing were not confirmed at the time of reporting.

This latest attack follows the arrest of eight suspected kidnappers and four alleged informants on October 12, with AK-47 rifles recovered. As of the report, neither the Kaduna State Police Command nor the Ministry for Internal Security and Home Affairs had issued statements regarding the incident.
