Unknown gunmen have abducted a 14-year-old girl in Kankia Local Government Area of Katsina State.
Father of
the victim, Alhaji Salisu Mai-Tiles, said that the gunmen invaded his
residence at Sabuwar-Abuja quarters in Kankia at about 1:30 a.m on
Thursday.
He said
that three well armed persons broke into his residence and demanded 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.
It was gathered that the gang members also blocked Katsina-Kano road in Kankia and robbed motorists at gunpoint.
In a
related development, suspected armed robbers have shot dead a policeman
attached to WAPA Shopping Mall in Katsina on Thursday night and carted
away undisclosed amount of money.
Efforts to
get the reaction of the state police command was not successful as its
spokesman, Isa Gambo did not respond to phone calls and SMS text message
sent to him.
