Bandits have abducted six wedding guests in Dutsinma town, headquarters of Dutsinma Local Government Area of Katsina State.
The victims are said to be relatives of a governorship aspirant, Umar Tata, who contested in the recent primaries of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
“A woman, whose children were mostly kidnapped is the sister of the politician (Tata) and the way the attackers went straight to the house and kidnapped the women, was questionable,” a resident said.
The resident, who pleaded anonymity, said the terrorists initially kidnapped nine people at Unguwar Kudu Quarters but three were later released.
“First, they abandoned an elderly woman who could not trek and a kid who was continuously crying.
“There was a time the bandits came to Dutsinma for four consecutive days and kidnapped people.
