Unidentified armed men have abducted a resident, identified as Alhaji Buba, during a late-night attack on his residence in Tudun-Wada community via Tungan-Kawo Village, Kontagora Local Government Area of Niger State.

 

Zagazola gathered that the incident occurred on Monday at about 11:30 p.m., when the assailants stormed the area and forcefully took the victim away to an unknown destination.
