Armed bandits have reportedly kidnapped Brigadier General Maharazu Tsiga (retd), former director general of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC).
The abduction was carried out during an attack on Tsiga village, in the Bakori Local Government Area of Katsina State, early Yesterday morning.
The bandits killed one person and abducted at least nine others. They also ransacked several homes, stealing valuables from residents.
The bandits reportedly stormed the village around 12:30 a.m., released gunshots into the air to create panic and prevent the locals from resisting.
Efforts to confirm the incident with the Katsina State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Abubakar Sadiq, were unsuccessful. He responded via SMS, stating that he “can’t talk now.”
