Monday, May 19, 2025 - Six people from Hayin Gizo, a quiet suburb of Garun Kurama in Lere Local Government Area of Kaduna State, were in the early hours of Sunday abducted by kidnappers.
According to a source the kidnappers stormed the community
around 1:30 a.m. with dangerous weapons in a terrifying operation that lasted
until 3:00 a.m.
According to him, “the kidnappers took six able-bodied men
and one woman. The woman was later released along the way due to her frail
health condition.”
He explained that among those kidnapped were two Igbos who
are traders in the community.
He appealed to security agencies and well-meaning
individuals to intervene swiftly to secure the safe return of the captives.
He described the victims as peasant farmers living from
hand-to-mouth, urging the kidnappers to show mercy, as their families cannot
afford ransom payments.
Lere, alongside Kauru, Kachia, Zango Kataf, and Jema’a Local Government Areas, has faced a surge in kidnappings and attacks by unknown gunmen in recent months.
