Residents of Zurin Mahuta village in Lakwaya community, Gwarzo Local Government Area of Kano State, have come under attãck as båndits abdùcted an Imam and a businessman in the area.
A source, who spoke on condition of anonymity to newsmen, said the båndits invaded the village Sunday night and abdùcted the people.

The source said the rustled cattle were later intercepted and recovered by security personnel at Dan Tsare.
According to the source, “Since about 8p.m., we were alerted about the infiltration of the abdúctors into the village and we also alerted the security.
“The båndits abdùcted four persons, including two women. The women escaped from the abdúctors because they also rustled a large number of cattle. So, currently we have two persons, an Imam of a Juma’at mosque in the village and a businessman with the kìdnãppers.
We were communicating with the businessman before he was kidnåpped. When I called severally and he didn’t pick, I sensed danger. Later, we were made to understand that the rustled cattle have been intercepted in a village, Dan Tsare.”
Contacted to confirm the incident, spokesperson of the Kano State Police Command, Abdullahi Haruna, promised to get back to this reporter.
