A number of patients and two nurses have been abducted by bandits who attacked the Primary Healthcare Centre in Kuyallo, Birnin-Gwari Local Government Area of Kaduna State in the early hours of today, September 9.
The bandits, who reportedly arrived around 9:00 am on Monday, first targeted the nearby Government Day Secondary School but found it empty. According to Musa Alhassan, a leader of a local vigilante group, the gunmen then shifted their focus to the healthcare facility.
“They came looking for students, but when they discovered the school was vacant, they went straight to the health centre and began abducting people,” he said
Eyewitnesses reported that the attackers were armed with guns and machetes and caused widespread panic as they took their victims, including two female nurses. The total number of patients abducted remains unclear.
It will also be recalled that bandits are yet to release Dr. Ganiyat Popoola, a medical doctor who has been in their captivity for several months.
The state police command or the state government is yet to react to this development.
