Gunmen have abducted the District Head of Gatawa in Sabon Birni Local Government Area of Sokoto State, Isa Muhammad Bawa, along with his son and brother.
The incident occurred on Saturday near Kwanan Maharba as they were returning from Sokoto.
The Sole Administrator of Sabon Birni LGA, Garba Umar Kaba, confirmed the abduction.
“I don’t know the exact time the incident happened, but according to the briefings obtained from security operatives, they were abducted at Kwanan Maharba while coming back from Sokoto,” Kada stated.
While speaking with DailyTrust on the abduction, Kaba added, “We are still waiting for their call in order to know why they abducted them and what they want.”
Kaba expressed frustration over the continuous attacks on their communities despite efforts to enhance security.
“We have been supporting security operatives to patrol our communities, but we are still recording incidences of abduction and attacks,” he lamented.
Bawa was previously the District Head of Sabon Birni before being redeployed to Gatawa by the current administration in the state. Sabon Birni, the hometown of the incumbent deputy governor, has been one of the areas in eastern Sokoto State suffering from bandit attacks for several years.
