The Dokan Karji community in Kauru Local Government Area of Kaduna State has called on the Chief of Defense Staff, Gen. Christopher Musa and the federal government to deploy the military to their community to end the ongoing kidnappings and killings by bandits.

In a press statement issued by the community’s youth leader, Aminu Khalid, the residents expressed growing concern over the escalating attacks, which have intensified insecurity in the region, leaving residents in constant fear and forcing many to flee to safer locations.

The appeal followed recent attacks that have affected over 14 villages in the area, with the youth leader  saying that the violence has left their communities vulnerable to persistent assaults by bandits over the years.
