Neighbour shoots kidnapper, rescues children after gunmen abducted ex-VC’s family in Zaria

Gunmen, suspected to be kidnappers Friday night, stormed the residence of a former Vice Chancellor (VC) of the Ahmadu Bello University (ABU) Zaria, Prof. Abdullahi Mustapha, and abducted four persons.

The suspected kidnappers also shot and injured an ABU hunter, during their operation.

Those kidnapped at the ex-VC’s house, located at Hayin Malam, in Zangon Shanu area of Zaria, Kaduna State, include Maryam Abdullahi Mustapha, a staff of ABU, her two children, and elder sister.

Meanwhile, the two abducted children were later rescued when a neighbour fired and killed one of the kidnappers. The elder sister was also released when the gunmen discovered she had asthma. A witness in the neighbourhood said that only the mother, Maryam was taken away by the kidnappers.

Attempts to get reactions from the police spokesperson in Kaduna State, DSP Yakubu Sabo proved. Source: PRnigeria
