Northern Youths Allege 600 Armed Bandits Hiding On Kaduna Hill

Kaura Youth Coalition (KYC) and Takad Youths Association (TYA) have alleged that about 600 militia wielding heavy and sophisticated weapons are hiding on the Zangzang Hill in Kaura Council of Kaduna State, calling on security operatives to dislodge them.

In a statement Sunday, the President of KYC, Derrick Christopher, and his TYA counterpart, Abin Vincent, called on the government to urgently establish a military base between Kaura and Ryom councils to address the influx of criminals.

“There is also an ongoing mining of tin (goza) by natives of Ganawuri, who sell the products in Jos of Plateau State. It is on the same camp that the Takad, Fulani and Sholio natives were unapologetically slaughtered at will,” the statement added.

The youths expressed satisfaction with efforts by securities operatives in arresting five militias terrorizing the community.
