Bandits have reportedly abducted about four farmers in the Libere community of Kauru Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
Aminu Khalid, the Dokan Karji youth leader, disclosed this on Thursday in a telephone interview.
He said the farmers were kidnapped at about 12 o’clock while harvesting their crops.
Khalid lamented that the incident has caused panic in Libere and surrounding communities, with residents deserting their villages.
“These bandits have continued to occupy more villages in our local government area unchallenged and causing a lot havoc to the various communities,” he said.
The youth leader had earlier reported that Libere was among the 14 villages over-run by bandits during a recent attack. He had also called for military intervention to restore normalcy in the area.
He identified some of those abducted as Pheobe Adauji, Cecilia Moses, Tambaya and his wife.
