Midnight Raid: Gunmen Abduct Kibiya LGA Secretary in Kano

Gunmen abducted the Secretary of Kibiya Local Government Area in Kano State after raiding his home in Dinya town. The Speaker of the council, Hon. Sabo Yusuf Usman, told the BBC the attack occurred around 1:00 a.m. on Friday. The attackers tricked the secretary by waking his son and claiming he had a stomach ache. When the door opened, they seized both father and son. They later released the son and escaped with the secretary before security forces arrived. Kibiya LGA is normally peaceful. Neighbouring areas like Tsanyawa and Shanono, which border Katsina State, have faced repeated bandit attacks.
