Bandits have abducted a former Zonal Director of the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC), Ahmed Abdulkadir, his daughters and three others in an attack on Monday night in Bakori, Katsina State.

Thelagostimes gathered that Abdulkadir was abducted when the bandits stormed Shema quarters, a government estate in the town, around 9 p.m.

His daughter, 15-year old Laila Ahmad, and three others in the quarters were also abducted.

It was also gathered that the vigilantes in the area pursued the assailants and intercepted them in Danja Local Government Area.

After a gun duel, three male victims were reportedly freed but Abdulkadir and his daughter were not that lucky.

Their whereabouts remain unknown and no demand for ransom yet.

Recall that on Saturday night, a wife and two children of the member representing Bakori in the State House of Assembly, Aminu Kurami, were also abducted.
