Four Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) are still being held by suspected bandits following an attack on farmers in Kaso, Chikun Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
The incident occurred around 8am on Friday, November 13, 2026, in Anguwan Baijuwa, while the victims were travelling to their farmlands.
The Secretary to the Village Head of Kaso, Jonah Baba, said the attackers blocked the road around Romi Stream, along the Suleja village axis, before abducting six people heading towards Mararaban Uden market.
He confirmed that the gunmen initially took six victims but later released two of them.
The Coordinator of Internally Displaced Persons in Maraban Rido, Sule Adams, also confirmed the incident, explaining that the two released victims were freed because of their health conditions.
He added that four people remain in captivity, including a woman.
