Two nurses and several patients have been abducted by the bandits at a Primary Health Care Centre in Kuyello, Birnin-Gwari Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
A local vigilante by the name Musa Alhassan, said the bandits initially targeted the nearby Government Day Secondary School, arriving 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,” he said.
“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 into the healthcare centre wielding guns and machetes. They started dragging people out of the hospital, and we couldn’t do anything to stop them.”
The Kaduna State Police Command’s spokesman is yet to react to inquiries on the incident as at the time of filing this report.
