In a fresh attack, bandits abducted two nurses and several patients from a Primary Health Care Centre in Kuyello, Birnin-Gwari Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
A local vigilante Musa Alhassan, disclosed that the bandits initially intended to attack the nearby Government Day Secondary School but instead struck the health facility around 9:00 am on Monday.
”When the bandits found the school empty, they turned their attention to the healthcare centre, located nearby. The bandits came to the school around 9:00 am, asking about the students, but when they found out the school was empty, they went to the healthcare centre and started kidnapping people.
“The bandits, who were seeking to abduct students, instead took two female nurses and several patients hostage, leaving the community in a state of panic. The exact number of patients kidnapped is still unknown,” he said.
“The bandits came in the healthcare centre wielding guns and machetes. They started dragging people out of the hospital, and we couldn’t do anything to stop them.”
This incident adds to the growing wave of insecurity in the region, underscoring the urgent need for enhanced security around vulnerable communities and healthcare facilities.
