Gunmen have abducted Harira Abdullahi, the wife of Alhaji Shuaibu Suleiman Galadima, the District Head of Aboro in Sanga Local Government Area of Kaduna State, along with their daughter, Maryam Suleiman Galadima, in an attack on Sunday evening.
According to a report by Daily Trust, the incident occurred around 7:36 pm when the attackers stormed the residence of the district head and forcefully seized the two women.
A resident of the community, who spoke to Daily Trust under condition of anonymity, confirmed the abduction, describing the incident as devastating.
“The attack threw the community into confusion, and residents quickly mobilized to rescue the abducted women,”; the resident said.
However, the attempted rescue mission turned tragic when the gunmen opened fire on the pursuing locals.

The body of the deceased was buried according to Islamic rites on Monday.
The source further called for urgent reinforcement of security in the community, stressing the need to protect lives and secure the release of the abducted women.
