The farmers were working on their farms when the bandits, wielding weapons attacked them.
Six farmers, including four males and two females, have been kidnapped by bandits at Gidan Busa community in Kachia Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
A community leader from the area, who confirmed the kidnap incident to Daily Trust on Wednesday, September 25, said it happened on Monday around 5pm.
He said the farmers were working on their farms when the bandits, wielding weapons attacked them.
He said he had alerted some vigilantes from neighbouring Jobgwom village, who had mobilised in their numbers into the forest.
The community leader also disclosed that some bandits invaded a Fulani settlement on the same day at neighbouring Gadan-Malam Maman and rustled some cows.
He said the bandits, who invaded the village, wielding weapons, shot and injured two villagers while escaping with the rustled cows, even as he said troops had been informed about the development.
