Bandits have raided the residence of Sarkin Hausawa of Anguwar Azara in Jere, along Abuja-Kaduna highway, Malam Ibrahim Tanko and abducted his wives alongside his four daughters.
Tanko, who managed to escape using one of the exit doors, said Hauwawu, who is his senior wife, was later set free when her captors discovered that she is suffering from high blood pressure.
He said the bandits, who wielded sophisticated weapons, invaded his house around 11:52 pm on Tuesday.
According to Tanko, the bandits later proceeded to a neighbour’s house and whisked away four residents including a nursing mother.
The Sarkin Hausawa said soldiers arrived the area an hour after the bandits had left with their victims.
When contacted, the spokesman of the Kaduna state police command, Asp Mohammed Jalige, said the police were not aware of the incident.
