Suspected bandits abducted 10 people in Unguwar Sabon-Titi along the Katari–Hayin Dam axis in Kachia Local Government Area of Kaduna State. Among those taken were seven members of a single family. The attack occurred in the early hours of Friday, with no immediate claim of responsibility. Residents reported gunfire and movement of armed men on motorcycles before the abductions. No casualties were reported during the incident, but fear has gripped the community. The Kaduna State government has not issued an official statement. Security forces have reportedly deployed to the area to conduct search operations. The region has seen repeated attacks in recent months, with similar abductions for ransom. Local leaders have expressed concern over the persistent insecurity. No group has been confirmed as responsible for this latest incident.
Another abduction in Kaduna without a government statement means the cycle of violence is running on autopilot. Ten people taken, including seven from one family, shows how deeply insecurity has rooted in rural Kaduna. If the state government continues to stay silent after each attack, its credibility on security keeps eroding. Communities are being left to brace for the next strike with no reassurance or visible protection.
