Attacks by Islamic militants

 Attacks by Fulani militants against Christian communities and kidnappings for ransom have increased in Kaduna state.

Travellers abducted by Islamic insurgents and held for 2 weeks. Some of the abducted are returning students of  Nuhu Bamali Polytechnic kaduna.

It is unknown if a ransom was paid but state representatives have previously said they would not pay any.

“About 35 people have been killed by the herdsmen, while about 58 persons have also been abducted,” Asake said, noting that there are missing people still unaccounted for. “As you can see from the way these people are, they are seriously traumatized and need immediate assistance to be able to hold on. We have been told that the bandits have destroyed all the farm products of the victims and also destroyed their houses, leaving them with nothing to call their own.”

Asake said he has been told that about 8,000 people displaced by the attacks have arrived in Buruku with nothing in their possession, and that 200 people with no food, bedding or clothing had gathered at the Ungwar Beji camp.
