Bandits Kidnap Six IDPs in Kaduna While Farming

On November 13, 2026, six Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) were abducted by suspected bandits in Anguwan Baijuwa, Kaso, Chikun Local Government Area of Kaduna State. The incident occurred around 8 am as the victims were on their way to their farmlands near Romi Stream, along the Suleja village axis.

Jonah Baba, the Secretary to the Village Head of Kaso, confirmed the abduction, stating that the bandits blocked the road and took the farmers heading towards Mararaban Uden market. Sule Adams, the IDP coordinator of Maraban Rido, also verified the incident, noting that two of the abducted individuals were released by their captors due to health conditions, while four others remain in captivity.

Among the victims was a woman, and there is growing concern regarding the security challenges faced by displaced persons who rely on farming for sustenance and income.
