He said three well-armed persons broke into his residence and asked for money, while the remaining gang members stayed outside.
“They asked me to give them money, which I did; whatever they asked we never objected to their demand to save our lives, but unfortunately, they went with my 14-year-old daughter,” he said.
The gang members reportedly blocked Katsina-Kano road in Kankia and robbed motorists at gunpoint.
