Bandits Hit Kaduna Again, Kill Father, Son

A father and his son were killed in Baka village, Igabi local government area of Kaduna, when bandits struck in the early hours of Saturday.

Samuel Aruwan, the Commissioner of Internal Security and Home Affairs, made the disclosure to newsmen on Saturday in Kaduna.

“On a sad note, security agencies have reported that bandits in the early hours of Saturday invaded Baka village, Igabi local government area.
“According to the report, the bandits, while shooting sporadically, forcefully gained entry into the residence of the victim, a farmer in the area, attempting to kidnap him and his son, upon resisting the bandits, they were both shot dead,” he said in a statement.

The Commissioner said Gov. Nasir El-Rufai has expressed sadness over the attacks and condoled the family of the slain father and son, while offering prayers for the repose of their souls.

Kaduna is one of the states badly affected by the banditry ravaging the North-West.

All efforts to being the situation under control have not been fruitful.
