Alhaji Alabelewe, the current chairman of the Correspondents Chapel of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), Kaduna State Council, was taken alongside his wife and two children.

Alhaji Aodu and his wife were also kidnapped, leaving behind their sick daughter.

A family member of one of the victims, Taofeeq Olayemi, confirmed the incident.

“Initially, they picked Alhaji Abdulgafar, his wife and three of his children and a girl staying with them before asking the girl to return back with one of the children, leaving with Abdulgafar, his wife and two children,” he said.

Olayemi narrated that the bandits arrived at around 10:30pm on Saturday night, shooting sporadically before carrying out the kidnapping.

“They came around 10:30pm on Saturday night and started shooting sporadically. They first forced Aodu’s door open and picked him and his wife and left their sick daughter behind,” he said.

The bandits then entered Alabelewe’s house through the fence and jumped into his bedroom, taking him, his wife, and two of their kids.

The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), ASP Mansir Hassan, could not be reached for reaction as his phone was not connecting at the time of filing this report.
