Bandits attack Kaduna hospital, kidnap nurses, patients

Two nurses and some patients have been abducted by bandits at the Primary Healthcare Centre in Kuyallo, Birnin-Gwari Local Government Area of Kaduna State.

The bandits attacked the healthcare centre at about 9a.m. on Monday, September 9, 2024 after they met their first target, the nearby Government Day Secondary School, empty.

A leader of a local vigilante group, Musa Alhassan, said that 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.

Alhassan said the bandits were armed with guns and machetes.

Healthcare facilities and communities in Kaduna State have been under sustained attacks in the recent time.

The bandits are yet to release Dr. Ganiyat Popoola, a medical doctor, who has been in their captivity for several months.
