Suspected armed bandits have kidnapped the Village Head of the Fugge community in the Rijau local government area, Niger state, Mallam Abdullahi Zaure, and forty nine others.
According to sources, most of those abducted during the last Friday attack were women, and children, while few of them were males.
Reports further revealed that besides those abducted, many cattle of the villagers were also rustled.
It was gathered that the terrorists invaded the village on several motorcycles and started shooting into the air to scare the villagers in broad daylight.
Efforts to contact the Niger State Police Public Relations Officer PPRO DSP Wasiu Abiodun proved abortive as his phone line didn’t go through.
