Barely two days after an attack on Bamalli Polytechnic, Zaria, Kaduna State, unknown gunmen have again attacked Kofar Gayan and Kofar Kona areas of Zaria and abducted some residents.
ASP Mohammed Jalige, Police Public Relations Officer, Kaduna State Command, who confirmed the incidence, said he was trying to gather details to update the press.
However, an official of Kaduna State Vigilance Service (KadVS), who spoke on condition of anonymity Sunday in Zaria, said the incident occurred between 12.01 and 1.00am on Saturday night.
He added that about eight people were kidnapped from a single house, while others were picked separately.
Similarly, daughter of one of the victims, Hafsat Kusfa, said the bandits broke into their home around 12.01 am and assembled them in front of the house.
She added that the bandits, who were about seven in number carrying guns and marchets, took away eight members of her family, including her father, mother, sisters and brothers.
Kusfa said her father and mother, as well as some of the kidnapped victims, were later released through the efforts of security men who intercepted the hoodlums.
Recall that the attacked is coming barely two days after similar incident at Nuhu Bamalli Polytechnic, Zaria, where one student was killed, while two lecturers and eight students were abducted.
