Five people have been kidnapped in Dallatu and Kasuwar Da’a areas of Dutsen Abba in Zaria local government area of Kaduna State.
This came two days after bandits killed three people and abducted many others along the Kaduna-Zaria expressway.
Residents said the bandits stormed Dallatu village at about 1am on Wednesday and kidnapped two people. They said the assailants proceeded to Kasuwar Da’a village where they abducted six others, amongst them three children.
They, however, said the three children were released Wednesday morning leaving five people in captivity.
Kaduna State Police Command is yet to issue an official statement on the incident.
