According to him, “at around 3 to 4 am on Saturday, some gunmen numbering about five came to the residence of the assembly member and forcefully took away his wife Zahra’u to an unknown destination.”

He the hoodlums are likely to be kidnappers even though they are yet to reach out to anyone on a possible ransom to be paid.

Also speaking, the State Commissioner for Information, Col Mohammed Alhassan, assured that the victim would be released unhurt soon.
