On Tuesday, when they heard the sound of a helicopter flying overhead, residents of Kakuri, Nasarawa, Kurmi Gwari, Angwan Tarke, and Romi rushed inside their homes while some sought cover.
Initially engaged in their usual activities, the inhabitants took shelter, fearing that the bandits may have planned another strategy to attack them.
The majority of the attacks, they claimed, are supported by some influential people in the nation, and they declared they could no longer trust anyone, not even the government or security personnel.
Shuaibu Murtala, a resident of Kurmi Gwari, claimed that helicopters frequently fly by to the north or south.
He claimed that when they heard the chopper, the locals who were outdoors immediately stopped what they were doing and went inside their homes out of fear of being attacked.
We have often raised concern about bandits targeting them with helicopters, he claimed.
Maryam Yusufu, a different local, claimed that she had heard numerous accounts of helicopter strikes or instances in which the Air Force accidentally bombed towns, killing innocent citizens who they mistook for terrorists.
Sabon Tasha resident John Bulus remarked, "We are not close to the forest, therefore I don't know what these guys are hunting for constantly around our environment."
He claimed that whenever he heard the sound of a helicopter, he started to feel uneasy and start looking for a place to hide out of fear of being assaulted.
Additionally, Mrs. Juliana Moses, a housewife and resident of Kakuri, stated that the state government had to inform the people of the community about every action it takes to combat terrorists and robbers.
She claimed that inhabitants in Kaduna State should always be kept informed of events because the state is so unstable.
Calls to the Nigerian Air Force Public Relations Officer for a response to the event were not returned.
