Military officer’s wife, six others abducted in Kaduna

 

    The wife of a military officer and six other persons have been abducted in Kaduna. The attack place yesterday in the Keke ‘A’ and Keke B areas of New Millennium City in Chikun council.

The gunmen came around 11pm and left about an hour later with the captives. A resident of the area said three persons were kidnapped by the bandits at Keke ‘A’. “The bandits came around 11pm. I think their main target was a house at Keke A. The house belongs to a military officer. But at the time of the attack, the officer was not at home. So, the kidnappers broke into the house and picked his wife.

“They also kidnapped another man, a neighbour of the military officer. In fact, the neighbour was picked alongside his eight-year old daughter, but they eventually dropped the daughter when her mother was shouting on top on her voice.

“While, all that was happening, another man who was just returning home in his car at that time ran into the kidnappers. He was the third person that was taken away,” the source said.
