**Bandits Strike in Kaduna Community, One Lost, Seven Abducted** In a disturbing incident that has left the people of Kaduna State in shock, bandits have attacked the Sabon Gyero community in Millennium City, Chikun Local Government Area, killing one person and abducting seven others. The attack occurred in the early hours of Monday, March 16, 2026. Eyewitnesses report that the bandits stormed into the community, targeting a residence where they abducted three women and four children. The attackers also struck a phone-charging centre, where a young man identified as Abdullahi Lawal, popularly known as "Kurma," lost his life. Kurma, a deaf-mute, was shot in the head and rushed to a nearby hospital, but unfortunately, he succumbed to his injuries before reaching the medical facility. During the attack, the bandits made off with several mobile phones and laptops from the centre. The authorities have launched an investigation into the incident, and the Joint Task Force (JTF) in the area has confirmed the attack. "We responded to the situation after hearing gunshots and attempted to pursue the attackers, but unfortunately, we were unable to catch up with them," said Uwaisu Yunusa, the Commandant of the JTF. In a rare twist, one of the kidnapped women was later released by the abductors due to health complications. This incident serves as a stark reminder of the ongoing security challenges facing some parts of Nigeria, particularly in Kaduna State. The people of Sabon Gyero community are still grappling with the aftermath of this brutal attack, and the authorities are working to ensure that those responsible are brought to justice.
