Suspected bandits have abducted four members of a household after invading the residence of a retired police superintendent in Kujama, Kajuru Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
The armed men were said to have struck at about 12:30am on Friday, targeting the home of 60-year-old Mr. Elisha Markus, a former Divisional Police Officer who once served in Lafia, Nasarawa State, a security contact told Zagazola Makama.
The source revealed that the attackers whisked away four occupants of the residence — identified as 26-year-old Alice Jeshua, six-year-old David Jeshua, 15-year-old Josephine Luka and 29-year-old Samaria Mika — and fled into the night.
Security agencies were reportedly deployed to the community shortly after the assault, with the surrounding bushes sealed off in a bid to block escape routes and track the abductors.
“Intensified operations are underway in partnership with community actors to rescue the victims and bring the perpetrators to justice,” the source
added.
