Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Suspected bandits stormed a mosque during evening prayers on Friday, in Giwa Local Government Area of Kaduna State, and kidnapped 14 worshippers.<\/p>\n

One of the worshippers, Alhaji Buhari Nadama, who said he narrowly escaped, told DAILY POST in Kaduna that they heard gunshots while performing evening prayers (Ishai prayer).<\/p>\n

He said minutes after, they saw masked men, who were well armed.<\/p>\n

According to him, the bandits also went away with several cattles from a nearby community, Tudun Amada.<\/p>\n

Also, a community leader in the area, Alhaji Dauda Mustapha disclosed that while some of the bandits operated in the mosque, others searched several houses, picking women.<\/p>\n

However, a resident told DAILY POST that four of the kidnapped victims were released on Friday night.<\/p>\n

The Kaduna Police Command\u2019s Public Relations Officer, ASP Mohammed Jalige did not pick calls, just as he did not respond to text messages sent to him.<\/p>\n
