The District Head of Yankaba town in Kaura-Namoda Local Government Area of Zamfara State, Alhaji Buhari Ammani, his three wives and his son were abducted by bandits in the early hours of Friday.
Also abducted were four of his neighbours, Mallam Ibrahim, Alhaji Samaila, Isah Yankaba and Aminu Maikano, while Saddik Abubakar was killed in the process.
Narrating how the incident happened, the chairman of the local government, Alhaji Isa Abdullahi, said the bandits stormed the town around 1.30am and kidnapped the district head, his wives – Jimmma, Asma,u and Lami as well as his son, Kabiru – before abducting others
Abdullahi said the hoodlums, who rode to the town on motorcycles, operated unchallenged for many hours because it was raining heavily, and that many people in the town were not aware of what was going on.

He added that efforts made by some residents to inform the security agencies of what was happening were unsuccessful because the downpour disrupted network services. He appealed to the government to deploy additional security officials to the council to combat banditry.
As of the time of filing in this report, the bandits had yet to ask for ransom for the release of the abductees.
