Unknown gunmen, suspected to be kidnappers, on Friday night stormed the residence of a former Vice Chancellor of the Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, Prof. Abdullahi Mustapha, and abducted four persons.
The suspected kidnappers also shot and injured an ABU hunter, during the operation.
Those kidnapped in the ex-VC’s house, located at Hayin Malam in Zangon Shanu area of Zaria, Kaduna State, included Maryam Abdullahi Mustapha, a staff of ABU; her two children; and elder sister.
Meanwhile, PRNigeria has reliably gathered the two children were rescued when a neighbour fired and killed one of the kidnappers.
The elder sister was also released when the gunmen discovered she had asthma.
A witness in the neighbourhood said that only the mother, Maryam, was taken away by the kidnappers.
Attempts by PRNigeria to get reactions from the police spokesperson in Kaduna State, DSP Yakubu Sabo, proved abortive as calls and text messages sent him were not replied.
