One kidnapped as gunmen attack Kano community — Report

Unidentified gunmen have attacked the Faruruwa community in Shanono Local Government Area of Kano State, abducting the son of a prominent trader during a Thursday evening raid.

 

The incident occurred around 7pm when the assailants stormed the community and reportedly shot sporadically to instil fear among residents.

 

According to a witness, Ibrahim Faruruwa, the attackers targeted Alhaji Haruna Halilu, a wealthy trader in the area, but he was not present at his shop during the attack.

 

“When they couldn’t get Alhaji Haruna, they abducted his son, Mas’ud,” Ibrahim said.

 

Confirming the incident, the spokesperson of the Kano State Police Command, Abdullahi Kiyawa, said the police are aware of the attack and have commenced an investigation.

 

He assured that full details of the incident will be made available once the inquiry is concluded.

 

Details regarding casualties or the number of abductees remain unclear as of the time of filing this report.
