Suspected Bandits Abduct Photojournalist In Kaduna

 

Gunmen suspected to be bandits have abducted a photojournalist at the Danhonu II community in Chikun Local Government Area of Kaduna State.

The photojournalist, Umar Iyale, who is currently nursing an undisclosed ailment, was abducted on Monday night at about 9 pm from his residence.

The spokesperson of the Kaduna State Police Command, DSP Mansir Hassan, confirmed the incident, saying the command has launched an operation to apprehend the bandits and rescue the victim.
