The Senator representing Kaduna South, Danjuma La’ah, has condemned Monday’s attack on Gora Gida, a community in Atyap Chiefdom, in Zango Kataf Local Government Area of Kaduna State.

Senator La’ah said the bandits invaded the community in the early hours of Monday killing three persons, one sustained injury, snatched away 10 goats and other properties of the people.

The lawmaker called on the people of Southern Kaduna to remain calm and be law-abiding citizens.

He urged the government and security operatives to bring the perpetrators to book, as well as to beef up security in the area to avoid further occurrence as well as reprisals attacks.

This is coming less than 72 hours after suspected bandits abducted the son of Abubakar Maikano, a top aide and administrative officer of President Muhammadu Buhari.

He was kidnapped on Saturday in Gwantu, Headquarters of Sanga Local Government Area of Kaduna State.

The locals said for the past two months, they have been noticing some unknown faces around their communities.

They are calling on the government to come to their rescue.
