A set of twin teenagers has reportedly been abducted at Gizawa village of Dutsinma LGA of Katsina State.

It was gathered that gunmen attacked the town in the early hours of yesterday when most of the villagers were asleep.

Sources said the kidnapped twin, Hassana and Hussaina Idris, were forcefully taken from their rooms.

Also, gunmen reportedly attacked the residence of one Magaji Abu in Badole village and went away with his cattle.

The police have not responded to enquiries on the incidence as at the time of filing this report.

Meanwhile, six kidnap victims were reportedly rescued on New Year’s Day by police after a gun duel with their abductors.

The spokesman of the state police command, SP Gambo Isah, said “On 01/01/2020 at about 12:30hrs, a distress call was received that unrepentant bandits in their numbers armed with AK 47 rifles have kidnapped some women working at a farm at Mata-Mulki village of Batsari LGA of Katsina State.

“Operation Puff Adder led by DPO Batsari swiftly moved to the area. The team gave the hoodlums a hot chase into the forest and engaged them in a gun duel,” he said.

The spokesman added that the bandits consequently abandoned the victims and ran into the forest.
