No fewer than six people, including a police officer’s wife, were kidnapped, when bandidos invaded Wusasa community in the Zaria Local Government Area of Kaduna State on Christmas night. SaharaReporters had reported that the incident happened on Saturday night close to Kuregu Wusasa, opposite New ECWA church. A source in the area had told SaharaReporters on Sunday that the suspected bandidos stormed the area with arms and ammunition, whisking away five persons. It was further revealed that the bandidos struck around 10:30 pm and went from house to house. It was learnt that the wife of a policeman, his daughter and four others were kidnapped, according to Daily Trust. The report said Kaduna State Vigilance Service (KadVS) later responded to a distress call put across to them but the bandidos were already on their way out with the victims. "As they (KadVS) arrived and engaged the bandidos in a gun duel, they (bandidos) bravely ran away with the victims, it was later realised that the victims were from three different houses in the Wusasa area," the newspaper quoted a source as saying.
