Kidnappers have abducted three children of Zamfara State
Sub-treasurer, Alhaji Yusuf Marafa.

His neighbour in Nahuche community of the Bungudu Local Government

One indigene of the area who indentified himself as Alhaji Dahiru,
said that the kidnappers, who were on many motorcycles, drove into the
community and went straight to the sub-treasurer’s house, where they
whisked away the three children.

His neighbour, Kamalu, was reportedly shot dead as he came out of his house.

Dahiru narrated that the bandits had also entered into the house of
one Ibrahim Maishago, who is a businessman, in an attempt to kidnap
his children.

“They discovered some large sum of money in the house, which they took
away with them along with the children,” he said.

SP Muhammad Shehu, confirmed the incident, saying that armed policemen
had already been deployed to the affected area to restore normalcy and
peace.

He assured the community people that the security agencies would do
everything within their power to maintain peace and harmony not only
