Six people, including a female police officer and her
daughter, have been abducted by gunmen who attacked Janruwa, an area in the
Kaduna metropolis.
The incident took place around 10pm on
Saturday.
Residents said the gunmen shot sporadically when they
stormed Janruwa and made away with the six captives — four females and two
males — after raiding four houses.
“They picked most of the victims through the windows. After
destroying the windows, they ordered their victims out of the houses,” a
witness said.
“There was nothing anybody in the community could do to
challenge them because they were armed with guns. The victims had no option
than to follow the attackers politely, as they risked being killed if they did
not obey the bandits.
“The only grownup woman among those kidnapped was the
policewoman. When they attempted to break into her house, she ran out, not
knowing that the bandits were many.
“As she ran out to escape, those waiting outside her house
just picked her. Her teenage daughter was also taken as she tried to escape.”
Mohammed Jalige, spokesman of the Kaduna police command,
confirmed the incident and promised to share details later.
However, Jalige was yet to respond at the time of filing
this report.
In a similar development, gunmen have abducted a daughter of
Murtala Musa Kore, a member of the Kano house of assembly.
According to the lawmaker, the incident occurred at about
2am on Sunday at his residence in Kore in Danbatta local government area of
Kano.
“I was in Kano when I received a call from home by 2:35am. I
learnt that kidnappers have abducted my daughter, Juwairiyya,” he said.
“The abductors invaded my house and tied up my elder
brother, Lawal Kore, whom they had mistaken for me. When he told them that I
wasn’t home, they went inside my family’s quarters to verify his claim.
“They told my wives and children that they were there to
kidnap me and were not ready to leave empty-handed, so they kidnapped my
daughter instead of me.”
