The attack came barely two days after 61 villagers were abducted in the Buda community of the same Kajuru Local Government Area.
Dauda explained that no contact has been established with the 61 locals abducted on Sunday night in the Buda community.
He said: “The only solution to this kidnapping spree is for the government to engage the local hunters and collaborate with the military to comb our forest.
“There is a need to mount 24-hour surveillance on cattle routes because that’s their route.
“The people are going through hard times coupled with the hard economy in the country.
“These terrorist activities pose great challenges to our farmers, no one can access their land to farm peacefully in the coming rainy season.
“How do we surmount the hunger that has grappled our country?
“The government and the military must be sincere and devise means of tackling these challenges immediately.”
