Again, dozens of traders kidnapped in Birnin-Gwari

Barely one month when hundreds of traders plying the Birnin-Gwari were kidnapped again an unspecified number of them travelling to Kano from Birnin Gwari have been abducted by bandits.

Findings gathered that the bandits were said to have blocked the highway closed to Unguwar Yako forest where they abducted the traders.

According to a local resident who pleaded for anonymity remarked that the victims were likely on a business trip moving from Birnin Gwari axis to kano before they got kidnapped.

“We spotted 4 empty vehicles and they said an unspecified number of persons moving from Birnin-Gwari axis to kano have been kidnapped.”

When contacted the Police Spokesman, ASP Muhammad Jalige could not confirm the development.

Recall, Birnin-Gwari road has remained an epicentre of kidnapping in recent times.
