Gunmen, late Sunday evening, attacked Akwando Village in Kachia Local Government Area of Kaduna State, killing a 73-year-old man and abducting three others.
The incident happened around 10:00 pm while people were still moving around the village.
The attack also resulted in six others being shot.
One of the survivors who is receiving treatment in a private hospital in Kachia, the Council Headquarters, told AIT News how they were attacked; “Some of us, mostly youths were still hanging around the Village Square, preparatory to going to bed, when suddenly we heard gunshots.
“Before we could run away, armed men wearing clothes that looked like the military came out from the surrounding bush and sprayed bullets on us, injuring six of us. Others were able to run away.”

A relation of one of the kidnapped victims said the kidnappers had made contact.
