Suspected bandits have abducted
the village head of Garin Labo in Batsari local government area of Katsina
state.
The village head was reportedly
abducted on his farmland around 1pm on Tuesday.
The gunmen attacked the village
on motorcycles and shot indiscriminately into the air.
Gambo Isah, spokesman for the
Katsina police command, confirmed the development on Wednesday.
He said the police were making
efforts to rescue the abducted village head.
“It is true. Efforts are on
course with a view to rescuing him from these rascals. Operation Puff Adder
responded to the distress call but since it was inside his farmland far away
near the Rugu forest but before they could get to the place, the hoodlums have
already fled into the Rugu forest. We are following a lead that may assist us
in his rescue,” he told reporters.
“The command is calling on
members of the communities in the affected areas to always form groups while
going to their farms and inform security agencies for back up.”
In May, bandits attacked
communities in Katsina state, killing at least 30 persons.
Musa Umar Uba, village head of
Daura, President Muhammadu Buhari’s hometown in Katsina, was also kidnapped.
His whereabouts have been unknown
more than 40 days after.
