Bandits have kidnapped nurses at a Primary Health Care Center at Layin Dan Auta village in Kuyello Ward, Birnin Gwari Area of Kaduna State.
A community source made it known that the bandits had targeted a primary school in Kuyello which is located on the outskirts of the town but when they could not find pupils to kidnap, they reportedly moved to the nearby hospital where they kidnapped the nurses on duty.
An anonymous community leader in the area, confirmed the incident and explained the situation as worrisome.
“They arrived in the area and went straight to a nearby school, thinking they would find students. However, the school was empty, so they proceeded to the PHC in Kuyello and abducted the nurses on duty,” he said.
Baba Isah, a youth leader in Kuyello, also confirmed the incident, stating that the two nurses were on duty when the bandits attacked. It remains unclear if any patients were kidnap, as most had already left the hospital.
ASP Mansir Hassan, Police Public Relations Officer of Kaduna Command, could not be reached on phone as of the time of filing this report.
