The mother of a member representing Gezawa Constituency in the Kano House of Assembly, Isyaku Ali-Danja, has been abducted by gunmen.
The elderly woman was abducted from her residence in Gezawa town around 1am Wednesday, Daily Nigerian reported.
Ali-Danja, a former speaker in the House, said the gunmen first asked his mother to open the door but she refused. They forcefully broke the door to her room and abducted her.
The lawmaker said immediately after the attackers left the house, one of the old woman’s caregivers raised the alarm, and police were immediately alerted.
“Even before i went to Gezawa, the Divisional Police Officers had called me and told me that he deployed his officers to the scene. He said they have already launched investigation into the matter,” Ali-Danja said, adding that the gunmen are yet to contact him or other members of his family.
“There is no contact from them so far. We are just praying to Almighty to save her life,” he added
