Gunmen feared to be bandits, on Thursday, stormed a low-cost housing area of Kaduna State, abducting one Mu’awiya Gambo Turaki and his family.

The assailants had invaded the city in Kofar Gyan, Zaria, Kaduna State at about 9 pm on Wednesday.

The victim, described as a customs officer, was abducted alongside his family. It is unclear if he was a target or a chance kidnap.

However, security operatives were later mobilized to the area, causing the miscreants to flee to Gwargwaji.

The recent attack occurred while the country is still reeling from the Kaduna train attack that occurred on Monday night.

Reacting to the rising insecurity in Kaduna State, a security analyst, Tunji Olanrewaju said it was worrisome that these attacks are coming in quick succession.
