Suspected bandits have invaded Kurami home town of Ibrahim Aminu Kurami, lawmaker representing Bakori constituency in Katsina House of Assembly, and abducted his wife and two children.
According to report, their abduction comes nearly a year after the lawmaker himself was abducted and kept for days until he was ransomed.
The bandits drove in on motorbikes and cars around 8pm Saturday night, blockaded the Funtua-Katsina road for minutes while the abduction of the Kurami family went on at his home, a source said.
“Immediately after Ishaa’i prayers we started hearing gun shots in the town, before we know it they already positioned themselves in the strategic places of the town to avert any possible move by the residents to engage them,” Muhammad Kurami.

He added that in the course of the abduction, the bandits wounded one Abdulhakim Ubaidu.
