Those kidnapped are members of the same family. They include a woman, her sister, and a child.

The woman’s husband, Shamsuddeen Yusuf, is a lecturer at Isa Kaita College of Education in the state.

The police spokesperson in Katsina, Gambo Isa, said the criminals invaded the staff quarters on Monday and kidnapped three persons. He said security agents including the divisional police officer were “on top of the situation.”

He said the abductors were believed to have come from the nearby Rugu Forest to invade the communities.
