A group of armed bandits has abducted an unknown number of nurses from a Primary Health Care Center in Layin Dan Auta village, located in the Kuyello Ward of Birnin Gwari, Kaduna State. The incident, which occurred recently, has raised concerns among local residents.
According to reports from Naija News on Monday, the assailants initially targeted a primary school in the outskirts of Kuyello but found no students present. They then shifted their focus to the nearby hospital, where they kidnapped the nurses who were on duty at the time.
A local leader, speaking anonymously, confirmed the incident to Daily Trust, stating, “They arrived and went straight to the school but, finding it empty, moved on to the health center and abducted the nurses.”
Another local youth leader, Baba Isah, also verified the attack, mentioning that two nurses were present during the assault.
It remains unclear whether any patients were taken, as most had already left the facility. No official statement has been made by the Kaduna State government or the police regarding the kidnapping.
