Since February 28, the community has yet to see or hear from their loved ones, as the police and the military have provided no updates. Sources in the community told FIJ on Friday that the terrorists had refused to budge.
“Nobody is coming to our aid,” they told FIJ. “The focus was on Kuriga and other areas, but our people and the 86 kidnapped in Kajuru are still in captivity.”
These sources asked not to be named over fears of being targeted by the government.
“Terrorists attack this area regularly, and we have vigilantes who help protect us because the police and military wouldn’t,” the sources continued. “On that day, they kidnapped some of the vigilantes, but they managed to escape. They tried to get the military to support an attack on the terrorists who were over 50, but the soldiers refused to go into the bush.”
