Asma’u Tafoki, younger sister to the Deputy Speaker of Katsina State House of Assembly, Dalhatu Tafoki, has been abducted by unknown gunmen.
Tafoki, the member representing Faskari Constituency at the Assembly, while confirming the incident to newsmen, said the gunmen on Sunday, September, 5, stormed his hometown, Tafoki, in the Faskari Local Government Area at about 1am and abducted his about-to-wed younger sister.
Report said the gunmen, on reaching the town, headed for the Deputy Speaker’s family compound where they initially abducted two ladies.
Members of the vigilante in the town reportedly engaged the gunmen in a duel during which one of the ladies escaped. The gunmen, however, went with Asma’u.
Tafoki said, “The gunmen are yet to contact the family and make any demand.”
The Spokesman for the Katsina State Police Command, SP Gambo Isah was yet to react to the incident as of the time of filing this report.
Asma’u’s abduction occurred a few hours after gunmen abducted two sons and a wife of another member of the Assembly, Ibrahim Kurami on Saturday night.
