Pastor’s Son Killed As Bandits Attack Kaduna Community

Some unknown gunmen suspected to be bandits have reportedly killed the son of a pastor during their recent attack on a community in Kaduna State.

Reports obtained by Naija News revealed that the assailants stormed Karimbu-Kahugu, a community in the Lere Local Government Area of Kaduna State, on Friday morning and abducted the wife of a Christian cleric whose son was also killed.

“A Baptist resident pastor’s son was killed. They also took away the wife and three others,” a source who spoke to Vanguard said.

The Vice Chairman of Kahugu National Development Associations, Peter Mukaddas, confirmed the attack saying they are mourning the deceased.

According to him, the bandits moved straight to the pastor’s House when they raided the community and committed the dastardly act.

Naija News understands that the state command of the Nigeria Police Force is yet to confirm the attack as of reporting time.
