Gunmen have reportedly kidnapped seven people, including women and children, in Anchuna village, Ikulu Chiefdom, Zangon Kataf Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
The attack took place on the night of Wednesday, March 5, when the assailants stormed the village in large numbers, firing shots before abducting their victims.
Samuel Kukah, a relative of the renowned cleric Bishop Hassan Kukah, confirmed the incident to DailyTrust, revealing that his younger brother, Ishaya Kukah, was among those abducted.
“My brother, Ishaya, was the only male among the abductees; the rest were women and children. The attackers struck around 11 p.m.,” he said.
Kukah also stated that there has been no communication from the kidnappers, and no ransom demand has been made yet.
“We are praying for their safety and awaiting any updates,” he added.
He appealed to security agencies to take swift action to ensure the safe return of the victims, noting that many of those abducted were vulnerable individuals.
