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.
