Nigeria: Terrorists invade Keke, Chikun LGA, Kaduna State, kidnap 18 persons

Terrorists early Tuesday morning invaded Keke community in Chikun Local Government Area of Kaduna State, Northwest Nigeria, abducting 18 people.

The abduction is coming barely two weeks after some terrorists raided Zango community, Zangon-Kataf LGA of the State in a midnight ambush, kidnapping seven residents.

Sources say the terrorists invaded the community around 12 midnight on Tuesday, shooting sporadically and causing residents to scamper for safety.

They then went into the homes of residents and whisked not less than 18 persons to an unknown destination

Specifically, Chikun LGA has been a hotbed for kidnappings in Kaduna State this year.

On April 26, suspected Herdsmen stormed Libere community, and kidnapped the village head and his family members.

This was two months after gunmen killed 18 villagers and kidnapped several others in February 2021.
