The Dokan Karji community in Kauru Local Government Area of Kaduna State has appealed to the Chief of Defense Staff, Gen. Christopher Musa and the federal government to deploy the military to their community to end the ongoing kidnappings and killings by bandits.
The community made this appeal in a statement by its youth leader, Aminu Khalid on Monday.
Khalid expressed growing concern over the escalating attacks, which have intensified insecurity in the region, leaving residents in constant fear and forcing many to flee to safer locations.
This is coming after the recent attacks that have affected over 14 villages in the area, with the youth leader saying that the violence has left their communities vulnerable to persistent assaults by bandits over the years.
Khalid revealed that Dokan Karji, the largest community in the area, has lost over 50 residents and had more than 170 abducted between April and now, with many held hostage for over six months.
