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.
