Saturday, November 14, 2026 - Suspected bandits have abducted six Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in Anguwan Baijuwa, Kaso, Chikun Local Government Area of Kaduna State, while they were on their way to their farmlands.
The Secretary to the Village Head of Kaso, Jonah Baba,
confirmed the incident to Leadership, saying the suspected bandits blocked the
road around Romi Stream, along the Suleja village axis in Kaso, and abducted
farmers heading towards Mararaban Uden market.
“They kidnapped six people, and they have released two
people now,” he said.
The IDP coordinator of Maraban Rido, Sule Adams, also
confirmed the incident, saying it occurred at about 8am on Friday, November 13,
2026.
Adams said the six victims were internally displaced persons
who had left their places of refuge for their farmlands when the suspected
bandits attacked them.
He said two of the abducted persons were subsequently
released by their captors due to their health conditions, while four others
remained in captivity.
He added that a woman was among the victims, expressing
concern over the security challenges facing displaced persons who depend on
farming to feed their families and earn a living.
