August 22, (THEWILL) –Â Bandits have abducted the District Head of Adabka in Bukkuyum Local Government Area of Zamfara State, Alhaji Nafiu Shehu.
A resident of the town, Alhaji Mohammed Nasir, told newsmen that the bandits stormed the palace on motorcycles at 12.30 am on Saturday night, and kidnapped the District Head along with one of his housemaids.
According to him, after they kidnapped the District Head, they spent some hours in the village.
“It was very surprising, these gunmen only entered into the District Head’s palace and whisked him and his maid away without abducting or killing anybody.
“We were all surprised. People were running helter-skelter on sighting the bandits who were carrying AK-47 rifles, but they did touch anybody”, he said.
According to him, the kidnap of the District Head came barely a week after the police mobile personnel attached to the area were withdrawn.
When contacted, Spokesperson of State Police Command, Mohammed Shehu, promised to respond with details on the incident.
