Gunmen Shoot Kebbi Council Chairman’s Wife And 2 Others

 

   Suspected bandits have shot wife of Bunza Local government Council chairman, a policeman and a member of the local vigilante group at Zogirma community in Kebbi after a botched kidnap attempt. 
   The three victims are receiving treatment at the intensive care unit of the Federal Medical Centre (FMC), Birnin Kebbi. Aliyu Usman, a resident of Zogirma community, told newsmen when the bandits came into the community they shot sporadically and abducted the woman from her home.

   “They went to the chairman’s house but couldn’t initially gain entrance. They shot at the door several times and when they entered they took his wife,’’ Usman said. He said that a policeman and a member of the vigilante group went after the bandits in an attempt to rescue the woman. “They started shooting and they shot the woman, the policeman and a member of the vigilante group in the process,’’ he said.

  When newsmen visited the FMC, the Chief Medical Director, Dr Hamzat Balarabe, said the centre had to quickly operate on the vigilante group member for him to survive. “We are planning to move quickly on the woman too as she has multiple fractures and a wound at the lower part of her chest,’’ he added.
