Barely a week after Naija News reported that unknown gunmen have killed a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Oyo State, some yet to be identified bandits have again kidnapped a district head in Zamfara State.

According to a report monitored on The Punch, the District Head of Gayari District of Gummi Local Government Area in Zamfara State, Alhaji Hassan Mohammed and his son have been abducted by gunmen.

Malam Abubakar Sani who made the incident known to newsmen on Friday morning said that the gunmen stormed Gayari community on Thursday night and went straight to the district head’s house and abducted him and his son.

He further revealed that the bandits fired gunshots into the air to scare away residents who came out to rescue the traditional ruler.

“The kidnappers had earlier kidnapped the district head and his two children, but on their way, one of the children fell off from the motorcycle and ran back home,” said Abubakar.

Confirming the report the state police spokesperson, SP Mohammed Shehu, said the Command is yet to receive any hint from the police in the area.
