A convoy transporting a newlywed bride and her companions faced terror along Gamji Road in Dandume Local Government Area of Katsina State Thursday night.

According to a reliable source, the bride accompanied by approximately 30 women, was en route to her husband’s residence in Ungwan Murjiya in Dandume LGA between 8:30-9pm when the convoy fell prey to the hoodlums.

The assailants, believed to be armed bandits, intercepted the truck and abducted the women.

DAILY POST learnt that during the attack, the source revealed that the truck conductor was shot, and he is currently receiving medical treatment at Damari Hospital.


In a separate incident around the same time, gunmen reportedly from Siddi forest infiltrated Tashar Nadaya, near the Gazari district border in Sabuwa LGA.

The criminals killed a commercial motorcycle rider, seizing his bike.

They also opened fire on a group of four individuals, confiscating their motorcycles.

Chairman of Dandume Local Government Council, Alhaji Basiru Musa, confirmed the report.

While some unconfirmed reports suggest that a few kidnapped women managed to escape, the chairman promised to verify and provide updates.

He clarified that although the women were from Dandume, the criminals intercepted them on their way from Sabuwa Local Government Area at about 9pm.

Sabuwa and Dandume are among the local government areas being heavily tormented by bandits in Katsina State.

Despite the relentless efforts of the Katsina Security Watch Corps and other security forces, a day hardly goes by without a report of their nefarious activities.

Unfortunately, under the regime of Baba Bulaba, kidnapping has become more lucrative than being a manager at Chevron. Very pathetic situation. The country is on fire and your president chooses to go and chill aimlessly in France. Earlier on, your VP called Nigerians clowns for criticizing the falling naira value.

Can you see that APC is a very evil party that dines with Satan himself?

I advocate instant death penalty for kidnappers. Honestly. Once you're caught as a kidnapper, you'll be given 1 minute to say your last prayers and a bullet will be buried between your eyes.

Just 30, it is small now. It should not make headlines. In Southafrica, they kidnap 1,000 people at a spot every 60 minutes. Ask Bayo Onanuga of APC.

They want to make them brides too. Insecurity is under reported. There is no more free movement under APC.

To we Yoruba Muslims this news is not important since it happened in the north, it could been very trending news if it was in Imo, so that we can blame ipob or ESN. Anyway the Muslim north is already used to terrorism since the are Muslims and the know the fruit of Islam which are things like this.
