Bandits have kidnapped Kebbi State High Court judge, Justice Faruku Hassan Bunza.

Justice Bunza was whisked away on Sunday at his home along Zogirma Road in Bunza Local Government Area of Kebbi.

 

According to Daily Trust, the attack occurred after the judge returned from a trip to Sokoto.

“He had just returned from Sokoto when the gunmen stormed his residence and took him away,” a source told Daily Trust.

 

The source added that, although nobody in the house was hurt, the attackers were shooting sporadically before moving away with him.

The Police Public Relations Officer, Kebbi State Command, SP Bashir Usman, confirmed the abduction.
