The Zamfara State Police Command said bandits attacked and killed a man identified as Ashiru Nagoma and abducted his wife and neighbour in Buluku, an outskirt of Gusau Local Government Area of the state.
The spokesperson for the command, ASP Yazid Abubakar, confirmed the attack on Tuesday.
Speaking on the incident, Abubakar stressed that the late Nagoma had resisted an attack by the gunmen, and they, in turn, killed him and abducted his wife and neighbour.
“The bandits did not attack the mosque. They had a target, and it was the man that was attacked. His wife and neighbour were abducted.
“Our rescue team is on top of the situation and is making frantic efforts to make sure that the perpetrators are brought to book and the abducted victims are rescued. An investigation is also ongoing,” he maintained.
