 Kaduna Community Pays Bandits N400m To Stop Attacks

This is just as he said the people of the emirate had resorted to defending themselves against terrorists that had over the years taken over the area.

He told journalists in Kaduna on Thursday that the constant attacks on communities had paralyzed economic activities in their rural areas and made travelling in the area impossible.

According to Abdulra’uf, N200m was paid to bandits in Randegi district alone.
