gunmen, suspected to be kidnappers, stormed the residence of Alhaji Yusuf Sani
Alhassan, Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Yauri LGA.
The
attackers were said to have invaded the Low Cost Area residence of the party
chairman, where they abducted his wife, Nana Aisha Yusuf, 35, and his son,
Sanusi Yusuf, 25, both of the same household.
According
to sources, the assailants, who were reportedly armed with dangerous weapons,
whisked the victims away to an unknown destination.
Following
the report, the Divisional Police Officer mobilised a combined team of police
operatives and local vigilantes to the scene.
