Gunmen Raid Kaduna Hospital, Kidnap Nurses, Patients
LAGOS SEPTEMBER 11TH (NEWSRANGERS)-Unidentified gunmen suspected to be bandits in their large numbers have kidnapped two nurses and an unspecified number of patients from the Primary Healthcare Centre at Kuyallo, eastern part of Birnin-Gwari LGA of Kaduna State.
The hoodlums were said to have targeted the nearby Government Day Secondary School, at 9:00 am on Monday. However, upon finding the school empty, they stormed the closest health centre.
According to Musa Alhassan, a leader of a local vigilante group in the area, 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.
He said, “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.
“The exact number of patients kidnapped is still unknown.”
An eyewitness further revealed that the bandits came into the healthcare centre wielding guns and machetes and dragged people out of the hospital.
DAILY POST recalls that bandits had attacked a community in Kaduna State last week friday.
This incident is the latest in a series of attacks by bandits in the state.
However, there is no official statement yet on the incident from the state government.
