For the tenth times, village in Chikun local government area of Kaduna state has been attacked by bandits.
In what looks like an organized crime by the perpetrators and their unknown sponsors, the little village in the Kaduna state Millennium City have been turned to a ghost village.
The deadly gangsters are now having control over the village and the residents are now living in fears.
Early January, a retired Photo Journalist Mallam Umar Usman Iyale was whisked away from his residence at the village to an unknown place, and despite alleged payment of demanded amount of money as ransom, the elderly man still remains in the kidnappers hand and no one can tell of his condition as at the time of this report.
On Monday early morning February 9 2026, the daredevils stormed the village again in large numbers and armed to commit the kidnapping of a housewife and a nurse who ran a Medicine shop in the area with her children forcefully into the evil forest where they operate, and a country of their own
Another family, a husband an IT engineer, his wife, a tertiary school teacher who owns a private school in the area and children were among those kidnapped this Monday morning.
What makes the incessant kidnapping in the area suspicious, according to a resident of the area is the one set of people that were allegedly the target.
Another resident of the area who doesn’t want his name in print said he escaped the attack by luck, as the hoodlums went to his house but missed him.
Many of the residents who spoke to this reporter said many people have started packing away from the village because of fear as the Uba Sani government has abandoned them to their fate.” Since year 204, the Danhonu 2 village have not known peace, and the situation has turned the area close to main road a ghost place”.
As at yesterday Monday the whole village has turned into a grave as residents do not know where to go, and who can become the next target of the society dregs.
The government should show interest in these development as the criminals are becoming uncontrollable, and are only waiting for any slight opportunities to attack other areas surrounding the Danhonu 2 village, a leader in the village said.
In the early morning yesterday, the whole of the village residents moved to the nearest Divisional Police office where they lodged their protest.
They are been directed to the state police Command to meet the Police Commissioner and present their problems and grievances to the highest authority who will forward the protest to the state government, this reporter learnt.
