Road Blocked As Abuja Residents Protest Bandits Attack

Residents of Goningora in Chikun Local Government Area of Kaduna State have blocked the Abuja-Kaduna highway following the attack on the community by bandits.

Following the attack on the night of Wednesday, February 28th, 2024, several members of the community were said to have been kidnapped and several injured.

Channels Television reports that angry residents took to the streets on Thursday morning, blocking the busy Abuja-Kaduna highway.

The development has caused heavy traffic on the road, with many motorists stranded.

Two people, including a member of the Civilian Joint Task Force, were reportedly killed in the attack.

The latest attack on the Goningora community comes barely a week after soldiers killed a notorious bandit, Kingpin, Boderi Isyaku and some of his fighters in the same Chikun local government.

A military armoured vehicle was said to have been set ablaze by the bandits when soldiers attempted to repel them.
