Terrorists abduct two nurses, multiple patients in attack on Kaduna hospital

Suspected terrorists attacked the Primary Healthcare Centre in Kuyallo, Birnin-Gwari Local Government Area of Kaduna State on Monday, abducting two nurses and an unspecified number of patients.

The attack occurred around 9 a.m. after the assailants initially targeted a nearby Government Day Secondary School, only to find it empty.

Musa Alhassan, a leader of a local vigilante group, stated, “They came looking for students, but when they discovered the school was vacant, they went straight to the health centre and began abducting people.”

Eyewitnesses reported that the attackers, armed with guns and machetes, caused widespread panic as they kidnapped their victims, including two female nurses. The total number of patients abducted remains unclear.

As of the time of this report, neither the Kaduna State Police Command nor state government officials had issued a statement on the incident. Efforts to reach the Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Mansir Hassan, were unsuccessful, as calls and messages went unanswered.

This incident marks the latest in a series of violent attacks on healthcare facilities and communities in Kaduna State, highlighting the worsening security situation in the region.

It also follows the unresolved abduction of Dr. Ganiyat Popoola, a medical doctor who has been in captivity for several months.
