Bandits On Rampage In Kaduna, Abduct Village Chief’s Wife, Two Sons

Bandits went on rampage on Monday night kidnapping the wife and two sons of the Village Chief of Galadimawa, Alhaji Aliyu Haruna Galadimawa, in Igabi Local Government Area of Kaduna State.

The attack occurred on Monday night at approximately 11:30 pm, when the bandits, who arrived in large numbers, fired shots to terrorise the community before breaking into the village head’s residence.

The abducted victims are Fatima Aliyu, the wife of the village chief, and their sons, Abdullahi and Kamal Aliyu.

Sarkin Fadar Galadimawa, Hussaini Umar, confirmed the incident and expressed concern about the inadequate security in the area.

“Our security here is inadequate. We desperately need help,” he said, urging the state government to strengthen security in the area.

Umar criticised the current mobile police unit as insufficient, stating that the frequent abductions and violence have taken a heavy toll on the community.

“Around 20 neighbouring villages have relocated to Galadimawa due to the insecurity,” he added.

The Kaduna Police Command has not issued a statement on the incident, and efforts to reach the Public Relations Officer, ASP Mansir Hassan, were unsuccessful as a call put to his cell phone indicated not “reachable.”
