Bandits Kidnap Four Farmers, Steal Food Items In Kaduna

Four farmers have been abducted by bandits who also stole their food items at Arikon village in Kachia Local Government Area of Kaduna State.

A community leader in the area confirmed the incident to the Daily Trust on Wednesday and said the bandits invaded the community on Tuesday around 5:12 pm.

He said the bandits abducted two of the farmers at neighbouring Impi village before proceeding to Arikon where they abducted a man and a woman who were returning from the farm.

He said the bandits broke into a store where some farm produce were kept and made away with a bag of local rice and yam tubers.

''The bandits, who came on motorcycles, broke into the store at Impi village, which is just some kilometres away from Arikon and stole a bag of rice and yam tubers,” he said.

The community leader said the incident happened shortly after soldiers, who were on patrol, left the two communities.
