DAILY POST recalls that Akwando village was the site of the kidnapping of nine schoolchildren as they travelled to school in Kachia on April 26, 2026.
The schoolchildren regained their freedom after 36 days. The village has also been attacked on other occasions, leading to several deaths.
The latest attack is coming after about five people kidnapped from Awon village on April 5, 2026 were released, having spent about six months in captivity. Others died in the camp, while a little girl died a day after she was taken to the hospital in Kachia, following her release.
The Kaduna State Police Command’s Public Relations Officer, DSC Mansur Hassan, did not answer his calls and did not respond to text messages sent to him concerning the latest attack.
