A statement, issued and signed by Karaye Emirate Council Information Officer, Haruna Gunduwawa, on Tuesday, disclosed that the abductors shot several times into the air before taking away their victim, a situation that informed the decision of many of the residents to pass the night in the bush for safety.
“The district head notified the Emir in a report that the people in Rogo District were currently living in fear, as kidnap cases remained on the rise, explaining that within two months, four cases were recorded.
“The Emir of Karaye, Alhaji Ibrahim Abubakar II, renewed his plea to security operatives to improve measures put in place to end the menace.”
