Less than 12 hours after the release of students and staff of Government Science College Kagara and their arrival in Minna this morning, bandits have launched a fresh attack on Kagara and some neighbouring villages, killing four people and kidnapping 25 others including a Chief Imam.
A community leader in Kagara, Musa Kwabe, said eight persons were kidnapped in Kundu and 11 others in nearby Gunna district, adding that four other people were killed from Katako, a neighbouring village where seven persons are still missing.
The bandits also rustled many cows in the affected villages.
Muhammed Hussein, a chief in Kagara and a former local council chairman, said one of those kidnapped is Ibrahim Ruvo, who is a Chief Imam at Madaka village.
Mr Hussein appealed to the state government to deploy more security operatives to the affected communities to prevent further attacks.
The spokesperson of the police in Niger State, Abiodun Wasiu confirmed the development to Newsmen.
