About 50 bandits invaded Jere town along Abuja/Kaduna expressway and killed a husband, and abducted his pregnant wife and three members of the family.
This was disclosed by a resident, Hamza Jere, in an interview with newsmen on Saturday.
According to him, the hoodlums stormed the community on Friday night on motorcycles and moved from house to house.
Jere noted that “it seems that the bandits had a mindset of who they wanted to abduct. They targeted the home of a former Commissioner, Abdulrahman Ibrahim Jere who was out of town at the time of the attack.”
According to him, the bandits attacked the home of a newly-wedded couple, adding that while the husband was trying to resist the kidnapping of his wife they killed him.
He added that: “They abducted his wife, a baby girl, his younger sister and his wife’s sister.”
