Barely two days after an attack on Bamalli Polytechnic, Zaria, Kaduna state, unknown gunmen have\u00a0 again attacked Kofar Gayan and Kofar Kona areas of Zaria and abducted some\u00a0 residents.<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\nASP Mohammed Jalige, Police Public Relations Officer, Kaduna State\u00a0 Command, who confirmed the incidence, said he was trying to gather details to update the press.<\/p>\n

However, an official of Kaduna State Vigilance Service (KadVS), who spoke on condition of anonymity Sunday in Zaria, said the incident occurred\u00a0 between\u00a0 12.01 and 1.00am on Saturday night.<\/p><\/div>\n

\nThe official, who did not give details on the exact number of people abducted by the kidnappers, said the incident occurred around Government Girls Secondary School, Kofar Gayan.<\/p>\n

An eyewitness, Malam Abdullahi Mohammed, a resident of the area said no fewer than 12 people were abducted during the operation.<\/p>\n

He added that about eight people were kidnapped from a single house, while others were picked separately.<\/p>\n

Similarly, daughter\u00a0 of one of the victims, Hafsat Kusfa,said the bandits broke into their home around 12.01 am and assembled them in front of the house.<\/p>\n

She added that the bandits, who were about seven in number carrying guns and marchets, took away eight members of her family, including her father, mother, sisters and brothers.<\/p>\n

Kusfa said her father and mother, as well as some of the kidnapped victims, were later released\u00a0 through the efforts of security men who intercepted the hoodlums.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
