Bandit Terrorists Drop ‘Sick’ Victim, Abduct Eight Others In Kaduna

A group of gunmen suspected to be bandit terrorists on Tuesday reportedly left behind a victim because of her health condition during a raid in Kaduna State.

The gun-wielding criminals are said to have invaded the residence of Sarkin Hausawa of Anguwar Azara in Jere, along Abuja-Kaduna highway, where they abducted wives and children of Malam Ibrahim Tanko.

Naija News learnt that the terrorists abducted the traditional leader’s wives, alongside his four daughters.

The names of the kidnapped wives are revealed as Maimuna Ibrahim and Hauwawu Ibrahim.

Malam Tanko, the husband of the abducted persons narrated that the eldest of his wives, Hauwawu Ibrahim was lucky not to be abducted by the terrorists as they released her after discovering she is suffering from high blood pressure.

According to him, the terrorists had stormed his home with sophisticated weapons around midnight on Tuesday, but he managed to escape through one of the exit doors in his house.

He explained, “It was after they searched and couldn’t see me that they went into the room where my daughters were sleeping and whisked four of them away at gunpoint.”

Tanko revealed the names of his abducted daughters as Hussaina Ibrahim, Aisha Ibrahim, Zainab Ibrahim and Farida Ibrahim.

He explained that after abducting his family members, the terrorists went to a neighbour’s house and went away with four other residents, together with a nursing mother named Laraba Umar.

The traditional ruler explained further that the terrorists macheted the nursing mother’s husband until he became unconscious, lamenting that the man is presently receiving treatment at a private hospital at Katari.

He stated that soldiers later arrived at the scene after an hour when the terrorists had left with the victims.

However, the State Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Mohammed Jalige has told newsmen that the police was not aware of the incident, but promised to contact the Police Area Commander of Katari.
