The wife and two children of a Director of Finance in the Zamfara State Ministry of Finance, Sirajo Hassan, have been abducted by terrorists
According to PUNCH, the terrorists kidnapped the director’s wife, Maryam Gambo and her two little children from their house at Damba Housing Estate, Gusau around 1am on Monday after they realised that the Director was not in the house
Two vigilantes sustained injuries after engaging the terrorists in a gun battle in a bid to avert the kidnap but were overpowered by the terrorists.
The injured vigilantes were rushed to the hospital for treatment.
The area – an outskirts of Gusau town, the state capital, was attacked three times by the terrorists in the last one month where nine people have so far been kidnapped.
Residents, who have been in fear due to persistent terrorists attacks called on the security agents to come to their aid.
The state police command under CP Ayuba Elkana has visited the area last week where he promised to send security personnel to the area, but up till now, nothing was done.
