Just In: Tension In Kano State As Gunmen Kidnaps A Prominent Igbo Businessman.
Kore community in Dambatta Local Government Area of Kano State was thrown into confusion on Thursday night as residents were seen gathering in their numbers while some were seen running helter-skelter as gunmen invaded the community and abducted a prominent Igbo businessman identified as Emmanuel Eze, who has been living in the area for many years.
It was gathered that the hoodlums struck in the late hours of Thursday night around 10. 30 pm.
According to an eyewitness who recounted the sequence of events that took place that night, the hoodlums stormed the town in large number and were shooting sporadically into the air to scare residents and security agents around before taking the victim away.
The source also disclosed that a yet-to-be-identified young man was seriously injured by a stray bullet in the process.
The hoodlums are yet to make contact with the victim’s family at the time of filing this report and the police are currently raiding the area with the aim of rescuing the victim.
Confirming the incident, the State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Abdullahi Kiyawa, said that the commissioner of police in the state, Sama’ ila Dikko, has deployed a crack team of detectives of the command to comb the area in search of the hoodlums and rescue the abducted businessman.
