Friday, October 16, 2026 -A Supervisory Councillor for Special Duties in Zaria Local Government Area of Kaduna State, Lamido Muhammad, has been abducted alongside his two sons by suspected bandits.
The two sons were identified as Aliyu Lamido and Amir
Lamido. Their whereabouts remain unknown as the abductors took them to an
undisclosed location.
According to a source, the assailants invaded Muhammad’s
residence in Wucicciri, Abba area of Zaria, around midnight on Sunday and
abducted the three family members.
The source said the incident had heightened concerns over
persistent abductions and the safety of residents in the area.
The source lamented that the abductors had yet to contact
the family to state their demands or request a ransom.
The source called on the authorities to take decisive action
to protect lives and restore security, questioning how long families would
continue to live in fear of abduction.
The incident adds to growing concerns over insecurity in
parts of Kaduna State and the wider North-West, where armed groups have
continued to carry out kidnappings and attacks on communities.
The Kaduna State Police Command’s spokesperson, DSP Mansir
Hassan, could not be reached for comment, as calls to his phone were
unanswered.
