Terrorists Abduct Custom Officer, Family 48-Hours After Kaduna Train Attack

Gunmen suspected to be terrorists have abducted one Alhaji Mu’awiya Gambo Turaki and his family at the low-cost housing area of Kaduna State.

According to reports, the terrorists invaded the city in Kofar Gyan, Zaria, Kaduna State at about 9 pm on Wednesday.

The customs officer was reportedly abducted alongside his family. It is unclear if he was a target or a chance kidnap, a report by Eons Intelligent said.

The state’s Police Spokesperson, Mohammed Jalinge and its Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, Samuel Aruwan, is yet to confirm the incident.

The attack is coming days after the Kaduna train attack that occurred on Monday night, after terrorists planted Improvised Explosive Devices (IED) on the train track.

The last attack was on the Kaduna inbound train from Abuja where nine passengers were confirmed dead and 26 injured.

Kaduna has become the worst hit in the North West region considering the spate of heinous attacks by terrorists in the last month.
