“The armed bandits, who were dressed in hijab, left immediately with Isiya, and were reported to have been seen at Karakkai axis. Only God knows where they eventually took him to.
“But security agencies have already launched an investigation into the incident. They will surely facilitate his rescue,” he said.
PRNigeria reports that recently a Divisional Police Officer, in Maru town, DP Kazeem Raheem was killed when he attempted to repel an attack by bandits.
