Terrorists have attacked the residence of the Chairman of
the Zamfara State Haji Commission, ZSHC, Alhaji Musa Malaha in Gusau, the state
capital, killing one of his sons, Abdulmunaf, and his gateman.
DAILY POST gathered that the hoodlums also abducted another
of his sons, Mu’awiyya Lawali.
It was gathered that the bandits attempted to kidnap the
ZSHC chairman but failed.
It was also learnt that the bandits abducted other residents
in the area, although they are yet to demand for ransom.
According to a resident, Ishiaku Umaru, the terrorists
stormed the chairman’s residence in the early hours of Thursday and started
shooting sporadically.
“The shootings woke us up as everyone in the area started
running helter skelter. Nobody can exactly say how many people were killed or
kidnapped.
“But it was certain that one of the chairman’s sons and his
watchman were killed while another of his sons was kidnapped,” the resident
said.
He explained that most of the kidnap victims are mainly
women and children.
Efforts to contact the Zamfara State Police Command’s
spokesman, ASP Yazid Abubakar, were not successful as at the time of filing
this report.
