Bandits have abducted two women leaders of the All Progressives Congress, Hajiya Lami Awarware and Hajiya Haulatu Aliyu in Kaduna state.
The women were reportedly abducted along the Manini flashpoint in the troubled Birnin-Gwari Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
According to the Chairman of Birnin Gwari Emirate Progressive Union, Ishaq Usman Kasai, the incident happened after the women leaders attended the inauguration of the state governor, Senator Uba Sani, in Kaduna on Monday.
Apart from the two APC chieftains, Kasai said scores of others were kidnapped by the bandits.
The abductors, according to the chairman, had yet to contact the families of the victims or any person in the area.
As of the time of filing this report, the state police Command’s Public Relations Officer, Mohammad Jalige, had yet to respond to our correspondent’s enquiry on the incident.
