Gunmen attack Kaduna residential estate, abduct two women
Gunmen suspected to be bandits on Sunday night invaded a low-cost housing estate in Kofar Kuyambana area of Zaria, Kaduna State, and abducted two women.
However, five members of the gang were arrested by the police, vigilante, and other security operatives who raced to the scene of the incident to foil the abduction.
A resident of the estate told journalists on Monday that the incident took place at about 9:30 p.m. on Sunday night.
