Terrorists kill 2 ladies in Kaduna for refusing to be raped
Terrorists have shot dead two ladies among the 14 victims abducted from Janjala community in Kagarko Local Government Area of Kaduna State, on March, 1, 2026.This is according to a Daily Trust online report published on Sunday, April 5, 2026. A vigilante member and his wife alongside 12 others were abducted from the community.
The terrorists had demanded N14 million ransom.
The families had pleaded with the bandits repeatedly but they stood their ground.
The families later struggled to raise N13 million which they took to the kidnappers who in turn freed other women in captivity but held back the men.
Daily Trust quoted a source from the area as disclosing that after collecting the ransom at a location around Hayin Dam forest in neighboring Kachia Local Government Area of state, on Saturday, the terrorists informed the families that they had killed the two ladies.
According to him, the two young girls had resisted alleged attempts by some of the bandits to rape them.
“As the girls refused to allow the bandits rape them, their leader ordered them to be shot on the spot,” the source said.
The source, according to the newspaper, added that the bandits said they would only release the male victims when the remaining balance of N1 million is paid and foodstuff are provided to them.
A security source also confirmed the killing of two women, but did not give details of the incident, Daily Trust said.
“A community leader also spoke about the killing of two ladies,” the paper said.
It quoted the source as saying: “In fact, it was this afternoon one of the family members of the abducted victims called to inform us that two girls among the victims had been killed.”
The newspaper said that the spokesperson of the Kaduna State police command, DSP Hassan Mansur, did not pick calls or reply to text message sent to him over the development.
