Gunmen suspected to be bandits have abducted a middle-aged woman, Halimatus Sa’adiya Bello and her 17-year-old son at Dogarawa Area of Sabon Gari local government area of Kaduna State.
The chairman of security committee in the area, Malam Gafai Katsina, told journalists that the bandits, who were armed with sophisticated weapons, stormed the Dogarawa New Layout at about 2:00 a.m., and whisked away the victims.
He said: “They entered the house of Alhaji Adamu Bello and abducted the victims. They also attacked Adamu Bello with matches on his hand. He is receiving treatment at Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital (ABUTH) Shika, Zaria.
“The bandits did not abduct the two tenants residing in the house. They tied and locked them in their rooms.”
The spokesman for the state police command, Mansur Hassan, confirmed the incident to journalists on Monday in Zaria.
Hassan said the police operatives had commenced moves to rescue the victims.
He advised the public to be more vigilant and report any suspicious movement to security agencies.
