The Police in Jigawa said kidnappers had abducted a 38-year-old man in the Kiyawa Local Government Area of the state.

The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Jigawa Police Command, ASP Lawan Shiisu, confirmed the incident to reporters in Dutse on Wednesday.

“On July 17, at about 5:50 a.m., one Aliyu Zakar of Dankoli quarters in Kiyawa LGA came to the police station and reported that:

“On the same date at about 3 a.m., a gang of five criminals jumped into the house of his brother one Lawal Zakar, aged 38, of the same address.

“The suspects demanded 60 million from him whereas it was N60,000 that was brought to him on a fateful night by his boy.”

He explained that the suspects ransacked the whole house and seized the victim’s phone and those of his wives.
