5 brothers abducted in Kaduna after kidnappers broke into their home while they were sleeping
Gunmen have abducted six people in Kaduna, five of whom are brothers from the same parents.
The boys, who are between the ages of 8 and 18, were kidnapped in Gonin Gora area of Chikun local government area of Kaduna state.
The boys were sleeping in their home in the late hours of Thursday, June 4, when the kidnappers stormed the home, beat them up, and took them away.
Their father, Mr Bamidele Awelewa who narrated how the incident happened, said the kidnappers gained access into his compound by breaking the fence and later forced themselves into the main building.
He explained that they were armed with dangerous weapons and they beat up his children before whisking them all away.
Awelewa said that he and his wife were later released by the kidnappers and were asked to look for money to pay the ransom for the release of their five children or else they will be killed.
His wife, who is still in shock over the incident, appealed to the government to assist them to secure the release of their children.
The Kaduna State Commissioner for internal security as well the Commissioner of Police visited the family of the boys to commiserate with them and also to get first-hand information about how the incident happened.
The Police commissioner, while assuring the residents that everything is being done to tackle the problem of banditry and kidnapping in Chikun local government, also urged them to always provide the security agencies with useful information that will lead to the arrest of criminals in the area.
This mad kidnappers don start again may God save us
The government of Apc has made criminality a lucrative job with their agenda of Islamization and Fulanization. Abducting five sons of a family in a state with a sitting governor is absurd. The main reason banditry, kidnapping and terrorism is soaring especially in the north is that the government is not proactive in dealing with them. Am yet to hear any bandit/kidnapper that was tried and executed to deter others from such act. So criminality is indeed an thriving enterprise
Nigeria which way are we going for insecurities to prevail all the country i.e what happened in Kogi killing of eight policemen and DPO not to talk of us (ordinary civilian) , what I surely know is that they won’t go unpunished
