The Zamfara State Police Command says bandits attacked and killed a man identified as Ashiru Nagoma, while they abducted his wife.
The couple’s neighbour was also kidnapped. The incident happened in Buluku, an outskirts of Gusau Local Government Area, the Police said.
The spokesperson for the command, ASP Yazid Abubakar, confirmed to PUNCH Online on Tuesday.
It was learnt that the late Nagoma had resisted an attack by the gunmen, and they, in turn, killed him and abducted his wife and neighbour.
“The bandits did not attack the mosque. They had a target, and it was the man that was attacked. His wife and neighbour were abducted.
“Our rescue team is on top of the situation and is making frantic efforts to make sure that the perpetrators are brought to book and the abducted victims are rescued. An investigation is also ongoing,” ASP Abubakar said.
