Summary

On October 1, 2026, suspected bandits attacked the Babban Saura community in Kaduna State, raiding the residence of Sikiru, the residence of Maman Mubarak, and the neighbouring house of Maman Mubarak. During the assault, which left the targeted properties out of service, one person was killed. Reports indicate that the assailants abducted nine individuals, including Sikiru's wife and two children, though soldiers and local vigilantes later rescued a woman and four children. The remaining captives were taken by the attackers, who managed to escape despite efforts by security forces and community guards.
