Gunmen suspected to be kidnappers on Monday night abducted the two wives of a Kano politician, Alhaji Garba Fammar, in Kibiya, the headquarters of Kibiya Local Government Area in the state.
An eyewitness told the News Agency of Nigeria on Tuesday in Kano that the suspects stormed the residence of the politician around 2am.
The witness said the suspects, numbering about 40, arrived the town on motorcycles with dangerous weapons.
The witness also said shortly after their arrival, the suspects fired several shots in air to scare people before whisking away with the two women to an unknown destination.
Two members of the vigilante group had lost their lives during an encounter with the hoodlums.
When contacted, the Police Public Relations Officer of the state police command, DSP Magaji Majiya, confirmed the story.
Majiya said the Police Commissioner, Maigari Dikko, and some top officers had already visited Kibiya town to access the situation.
