At Rafin Gora in the Ningi Local Government Area of Bauchi State on Friday, police neutralized two suspected kidnappers and freed their victim.
On Sunday in Bauchi, police spokesman SP Ahmed Wakil reported that the gun-toting attackers broke into a resident’s home in Rafin Gora and made an attempt to abduct his 28-year-old son.
“The victim resisted the kidnap attempt and was shot multiple times in his lower abdomen while trying to escape.
“Police operatives in conjunction with a local vigilance group mobilised to the scene to confront the kidnappers who welcomed them with sporadic gunshots,’’ he stated.
He continued by saying that the operators successfully returned fire, causing the attackers to flee in confusion while maybe suffering bullet wounds.
