Gunmen Storm Zamfara Community, Abduct 7 Villagers

Police Command in Zamfara State on Sunday revealed armed bandits kidnapped seven individuals from Nahuche village of Bungudu local government.

The police stated that the villagers, which include a former council member, Bello Daniya, were abductedwithin the early hours of Sunday.

An eye witness, Malam Sani Ibrahim, had earlier told the newsmen that the bandits invaded the village in massive numbers, discharged guns into the air and ordered the villagers to show them the house of the Bungudu local government APC chairman, Alhaji Hamisu.

He said that the abductors, however, found themselves in the former councillor’s house, who is a neighbour to the APC chairman, where they took him, four boys and two girls.

Ibrahim said the abductors later released one of the victims with a note demanding N100 million as ransom to release the remaining victims.

While confirming the incident, the state Police Public Relations Officer, SP Mohammed Shehu said a combined team of security operatives were on the trail of the abductors.

He appealed to members of the public with useful information on the movement of criminals to report to relevant security agencies for immediate action.
