Speaking to Daily Trust, one of the villagers said: “The bandits arrived purposely to kidnap the household of Alhaji Shuaibu Dallatu, because on arrival they asked some young men who sleep in the shop outside the house of his whereabouts.

“Meanwhile, Alhaji Dallatu who was fully awake attending to his sick wife, overheard the conversation and quickly sneaked out.”
The source added that when the bandits could not find the husband, they decided to kidnap the wife despite her sick condition.
“They bundled her into a waiting car and started shooting into the air as they made their exit,” he added.
