The incident, which happened in the the early hours of Saturday, could further worsen Nigeria’s galloping food inflation.

A local, Dogara Peter, said his mother and his sister were among the victims, adding they were abducted while working on Maikudi’s Farms.

Peter noted, “Our community has been thrown into confusion as we have yet to establish any contact with the abductors.

“We want the security agencies and the government to swing into action and ensure our people return safely.

Peter lamented that this was the third time people were kidnapped in his family, noting that it has crippled their family economically.

“We have nowhere to raise money for any ransom, the whole community is traumatised by this sad situation. Our last hope lies in the security agencies and the government”, Peter added.

The Kaduna State Police Public Relations Officer, Mohammed Jalige, has not reacted to the incident.
