Some terrorists have reportedly invaded the palace of the Emir of Kagarko, Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar, in Southern Kaduna, kidnapping nine of his children in the town.
Among those abducted by the terrorists were his grandchildren and three others.
The incident, according to a resident, took place around 11.30 pm on Sunday. The resident claimed the terrorists stormed the town and headed straight to the monarch’s palace.
The source told journalists that the terrorists “took away his youngest wife, nine children and grandchildren but the wife escaped and returned back home.”
He added that the attackers also took three other persons including “a lady and injured one Audu Kwakulu of Ungwan Pah who is now at the hospital receiving treatment”.
There was no official confirmation from the state government and the state police command as of the time of filing this report.
The Kaduna State Police Public Relations Officer, Mohammad Jalige, did not respond to repeated calls or text messages.
