Despite the efforts by the security forces to stem the tide of violence, some bandits have invaded Maganda Village in Kaduna State, abducting three women.
The women are the wives of one Alhaji Adamu Nakwalla.
The bandits were said to have invaded the village at about 1.30 a.m. shooting.
They were said to have invaded the residence of Nakwalla, but when he could not be found, they abducted his wives.
PRNigeria, quoting a member of Birnin-Gwari Vanguards for Security and Good Governance said no life was lost, but a person sustained gunshot injury.
The member of the security group said: “Last night, around 1.30 a.m., some armed bandits invaded Maganda community and started shooting sporadically. After a while they invaded the residence of Alhaji Adamu Nakwalla and abducted three wives. They later released one of the wives with a telephone number to contact them.

“Before the incident, they had sent a warning message to the people in the community that they would come soon.
“No life was lost but a young man in the community sustained bullet injury.
“As at the time of the attack, there was neither security post nor security personnel in Maganda. In fact, we have no single police post in the area.”
It would be recalled that some communities in Birnin-Gwari area of Kaduna State have been consistently attacked by armed bandits.
Many lives have been lost as a result of the attacks.
The killings have arrested the attention of the nation’s security forces.
Following the seriousness of the issue, about a week ago, the Chief of Army Staff, Tukur Buratai, gave an order to troops in Brinin-Gwari area to ensure safety of lives and property by dealing decisively with the bandits.
