Suspected bandits in their large numbers attacked the home of Ibrahim Aminu Kurami, lawmaker representing Bakori constituency in Katsina House of Assembly, and abducted his wife and two children.
The attack reportedly happened between 8.00 and 9.00pm on Saturday night as bandits blocked the Funtua-Katsina road for minutes* while the abduction of the Kurami family was ongoing.
During the abduction, the bandits reportedly injured one person at the gate of the lawmaker’s house.
The lawmaker, Ibrahim Kurumi was not at home as he went to Katsina after participating in the Saturday’s APC council Congress in the area.
The abduction of the lawmaker’s wife and two children comes about a year after he himself was kidnapped before he became a lawmaker. Ibrahim was kept in captivity for days and was released after a ransom was paid.
Local vigilante and some residents are in pursuit of the abductors to get the victims released.
However, the Katsina State police command is yet to confirm or say anything about the abduction.
