Kaduna Residents Mistake Airforce Jet For Bandits

Residents of Kakuri, Nasarawa, Kurmin Gwari, Angwan Tarke, Romi, have run into their houses for safety, while some took cover, upon hearing the sound of a Nigerian Airforce Helicopter flying over their skies mistaking it for bandits.

Daily Post reports that the residents who were initially busy performing their daily routines took cover, thinking that bandits may have devised another means, of attacking them.

They said they could no longer trust anyone, including the government or security agents, alleging that most attacks are backed by some highly placed individuals in the country.

A resident of Kurmin Gwari, Shuaibu Murtala said “on many occasions, helicopters fly past to the North or South.”

He said some residents who were outside, upon hearing the sound of the helicopter, left what they were doing and ran into their homes for fear of attack.
