The Millennium City is an emerging social and commercial community where a 300-bed multi-function hospital low housing scheme is being built by the Kaduna State government.
Sources within the troubled community who spoke in confidence hinted that “the kidnappers came arou9:00 pm0pm during that rain.
“So, people were not alerted early enough, because the rain was heavy and suspicious.
“By the time they left, many residents were missing indicating that they may have been kidnapped. Most of the people kidnapped were just returning home during the attack and they just ran into the bandits”, the source said.
