Residents of Zurin Mahuta village in Lakwaya community, Gwarzo Local Government Area have come under attack as bandits abducted an imam and a businessman in the area.
A credible source who spoke on condition of anonymity to Vanguard, said the bandits invaded the village on Sunday night and abducted the persons.
The source said the bandits abducted four persons (2 men and 2 female) while the female narrowly escaped from the abductors who also rustled large number of cattles.
The source said the rustled cattle were later intercepted and recovered by security personnel at Dan Tsare.
According to the source, “since around 8pm, we were alerted about the infiltration of the abductors into the village and we also alerted the security.
“The bandits abducted four persons, including 2 female. The female narrowly escaped from the abductors because they also rustled large number of cattles. In the process, the two women escaped. So currently we have two persons, an Imam of a Juma’at mosque in the village and a business man with the kidnappers.
“We were communicating with the businessman before he was kidnapped. When I called severally and he didn’t pick, I sensed danger. Later we were made to understand that the rustled cattles have been intercepted in a village, Dan Tsare,” the source said.
When contacted to confirm the incident, the spokesperson of the Kano State Police Command, CSP Abdullahi Haruna promised to get back to this reporter.
