Gunmen abduct Jigawa lawmaker’s wife

Gunmen have kidnapped the wife of Haruna Dangyatun, a member of the Jigawa state house of assembly who represents Miga constituency. 

Abdu Jinjiri, police public relations officer (PPRO) of the state, said the victim, Zahra’u Haruna, was kidnapped by three gunmen on Saturday around 4am at Dangyatum village in Jahun local government area of the state.

“Today at about 4am, a housewife named Zahra’u Haruna, was kidnapped by unknown gunmen in Dangyatum village in Miga local government area, “Jinjiri said.

“Three unknown men came to the residence of victim with dane guns and cutlasses and took her to unknown destination.

“But the police are already giving the suspects a hot chase. ”

Last Saturday, suspected kidnappers shot a man identified as Anyinu and abducted his wife and daughter in Abaji area council of Abuja.

The incident reportedly occurred at Nuku Village off the road leading to Rubochi in the early hours of Saturday.

In Bayelsa, the six-year-old son of Nengi Talbot, the state commissioner for water resources, was kidnapped on December 2019.

A four-member gang had invaded the commissioner’s home around 11:30pm and whisked the victim, Antonio, away.

He was, however, rescued by a team of operatives of the operation Puff Adder on Wednesday.
