Bandits have attacked the communities of Bauda and Chibiya in Maro Ward, Kajuru Local Government Area of Kaduna State, resulting in the deaths of six people and the abduction of several others. The incident occurred on Monday afternoon when the bandits, armed with sophisticated weapons and riding motorcycles, unleashed terror by burning houses and killing residents.

The victims include Mamuda Tanimu from Ungwan Sarki village, Yusuf Paul from Bauda, Amuse Wasika and Laraba Timothy from Chibiya, as well as Saratu Amuse, who was visiting Chibiya at the time.
Several houses were also destroyed in the attack, belonging to Paul Anthony, Yusuf Paul, Hosea Moni, Victor Yusuf, Benedict Paul, Yohanna Moni, and Joseph Yusuf.
Gajere added that seven residential buildings and eight motorcycles were set ablaze during the violent raid.
