Kaduna is one of the states in the country facing serious security challenges occasioned by incessant invasions of communities and abductions for ransom.
Many residents around the suburbs of Kaduna metropolis, especially, residents of places like Damishi, Juji, Maraban Rido and Karji, are said to have relocated from their homes to safer places following rampant cases of invasions and abductions in their communities by dare devil gunmen.
