Residents of Ungwar Yamadawa, Dorayi Baba in Kano metropolis on Wednesday night arrested two gunmen after a failed kidnap attempt in the neighbourhood.
This was just as the spokesman of the Kano State Police Command, DSP Haruna Abdullahi Kiyawa, confirmed the incident, but could not give details at the time of going to press.
According to an eyewitness, who preferred anonymity, gunmen who had infiltrated the densely populated slum made a bold attempt to kidnap a resident who was accessing his garage on arrival at his home late in the evening.
The incident, according to an eye witness, occurred shortly after Wednesday’s end of fasting when some heavily armed kidnappers stormed the house of one Alhaji and attempted to abduct him.
However, the man who was about to drive into his garage was said to have sighted the kidnappers and immediately took to his heels shouting at the top of his voice, which attracted the attention of members of the community.
The eyewitness said the alleged kidnappers realised that their cover had been blown open, started shooting sporadically and snatched a ‘Keke Napep’ in a desperate attempt to escape from the scene.
But members of the community overpowered them and beat them to a state of coma after which they handed them over to the police who immediately took them to the hospital.
The image maker of Kano State Police Command, DSP Haruna Abdullahi Kiyawa, confirmed the incident but declined further comments.
