Bandits on Tuesday abducted a judge, Alhaji Husaini Sama’ila, at a Sharia Court in Bauren Zakat village in Safana local government area of Katsina State.
Katsina is one of the North West states where bandits are wreaking havoc.
Sources said the gunmen broke into the court around 3pm on Tuesday and abducted the judge.
The court was relocated to Safana due to security reasons.
It is not clear why the judge was in court despite the industrial action embarked upon by the Judicial Staff Union of Nigeria (JUSUN).
