In a disturbing incident, bandits have kidnapped Alhaji Bashir Abara Gummi, the Zamfara State coordinator of the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC), along with several others on the busy Funtua-Gusau road.
The attack occurred yesterday as the assailants ambushed multiple vehicles, including the one transporting Alhaji Gummi, who was on his way to Abuja for an official assignment.
