Suspected bandits have abducted a Kebbi State High Court judge, Justice Faruku Hassan Bunza, from his residence along Zogirma Road in Bunza Local Government Area.
The attack reportedly occurred around midnight shortly after the judge returned from Sokoto. Witnesses said the gunmen fired sporadically before taking him away without harming other occupants of the house.
Confirming the incident, the Kebbi State Police Command said tactical and intelligence teams have been deployed to comb forests and other identified locations to ensure the judge’s safe rescue.
The Kebbi State High Court also described the abduction as a disturbing development, adding that it is working with security agencies to secure his immediate release. No group has claimed responsibility for the kidnapping.
