Bandits have reportedly kidnapped the rector of the School of Statistics, Manchok, in the Kaura local government area of Kaduna State.
A source said the thugs also killed a resident during Monday’s attack.
The source said: “The terrorists stormed the community at night and killed one person, while a lady was kidnapped, including the rector of the Federal School of Statistics.”
The attack comes just three weeks after two ad hoc workers in charge of distributing mosquito nets were killed in the same area of City Hall.
One resident, John Auta, said terrorists stormed the community with sophisticated weapons and fired sporadically before kidnapping the duo.
He lamented that some communities in the council have been experiencing attacks and that security operatives are not doing enough to stop the situation.
Another source said the thugs had not yet contacted the victims’ families.
State police spokesman DSP Mohammed Jalige could not be reached for comment at the time of filing this report.
