Bandits in Kaduna state gunned down two persons and kidnapped three others in the troubled Kajuru community on Friday.
The Command Public Relations Officer, DSP Yakubu Sabo, confirmed the incidence in a statement issued in Kaduna.
Herald Nigeria gathered that the criminals, armed with dangerous weapons, stormed a recreational resort called Kajuru Castle in Kajuru LGA.
Sabo said “The bandits shot endlessly and in the process, shot dead two persons, including an expatriate lady and took away three others.
He disclosed that patrol teams led by the DPO rushed to the scene and evacuated the victims to St. Gerald Hospital.
“Normally, whenever such social events would happen, the organisers used to inform the Police for security coverage; but the party was done without the knowledge of the Police in the area.
“However, intensive efforts are being made by the Command to rescue the kidnapped persons, apprehend the fleeing culprits and bring them to justice,” he said.
