Gunmen suspected to be terror bandits have raided Kaduna community, Kidandan in Giwa local government area of the State.
This medium gathered that bandits stormed the community following failure by the local farmers to pay levies imposed on them.
Scores where reportedly killed during the raid which however forced local residents to flee in large numbers to neighbouring villages for safety.
Aside from those that were reported to have been killed, it was further gathered that some persons were also abducted during the attack.
Survivors told newsmen that the terrorists, who had been terrorising the community for some time became more vicious because of the failure by farmers to pay levies earlier imposed on them by the bandits.
A survivor who doesn’t want to be quoted speaking on the attack said, “For the past six days, the bandits have been coming to Kidandan, but this attack was devastating. They came and terrified us, stole and abducted our people. Every resident in Kidandan lives in extreme fear.
“Our women and children were leaving in droves. The number of those who embarked on this forceful and unprepared exodus would surprise you. They are moving for safety, perhaps to places like Zaria and other seemingly safe locations to squat with friends and relatives.”
Meanwhile, police authorities in Kaduna State are yet to issue a statement in respect to the development.
