 No fewer than 937 persons died and another 1,972 abducted by bandits in 2020 in Kaduna State.

Kaduna Ministry of Internal Security and Home Affairs stated this on Wednesday during presentation of the 2020 security report to Governor Nasir El-Rufai.

The report, which indicated 7,195 cattle were rustled across within the period under review, showed Kaduna Central senatorial zone top the death toll with 617.
