KANO – No fewer than four nursing mothers have been reportedly abducted by bandits in Yan Kwada village, Faruruwa community in Shanono Local Government Area of Kano State.

The Chairman of, Faruruwa community and environs security committee, Yahaya Bagobiri, who confirmed the development, said the bandits who stormed the community in their motorcycles had earlier abducted five women, but one narrowly escaped from the bandits’ captivity.

Bagobiri said the bandits, after abducting the nursing mothers, threw away their babies and took the women away.

He added that the bandits also carted away 50 Cows and other unspecified number of other animals.

He lamented that despite the presence of security personnel deployed to the area, the bandits still carryout their atrocities in the area.

According to him, “We continue to witness these attacks almost on daily basis, despite the presence of the Military and other security agents, even yesterday attacks we heard about it that they were coming and we alerted the security but nothing was done until they came around 9pm raided houses and whisked away the nursing Mothers.

“Among those Nursing Mothers that were kidnapped, one luckily escaped back to her Family, leaving four nursing mothers with them. They took away the mothers and throw away their babies leaving the children crying,” he said.

The Chairman, strongly appealed to President Bola Tinubu and the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu and other top Security echelon to come to their rescue before it is too late.

“We earlier on, appreciate the immediate response of sending the Military to our area, we still thank the Government for that gesture, but we want them to be provide more armed personnel around the areas”.

Bagobiri however, said taking the proactive measures will go a long way in helping to curtail the menace and restored peace to the area.
