The Kaduna State Emergency Management Agency (KADSEMA) says it has registered 1,270 Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in the Igabi local government area.
Abubkar Hassan, the executive secretary of the agency, disclosed this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria on Friday.
Mr Hassan said the people were displaced following attacks on some communities by bandits on March 1.
Four people were killed in the attack.
According to him, the IDPs from 320 households are now camped at LEA Karshen Kwalta Primary School, Rigasa, in the local government.
He added that the displaced persons were from Kwaten Sarki, Kwaten Waziri, Kwaten Daudu and Gurguzu.
He said the registration was necessary to enable the agency to plan how to cater for them, adding that most of them fled their communities in panic.
Mr Hassan noted further that KADSEMA provided relief materials to the IDPs.
