Gobir said, “The bandits, on sighting the emir‘s vehicle, started shooting guns, which resulted in the tires of the vehicle busting and the driver losing control of the car, forcing the car to suddenly stop.

“The bandits abducted the district head and his driver, who happened to be his biological son.

“The armed abductors attacked the district head‘s vehicle and took him and his driver away.”

Alhaji Isa therefore appealed to the government to do everything possible to ensure the release of the victims from the bandit‘s den.

Sources in Sabon Birni said the incident has sparked outrage and concern among residents, who are calling on authorities to expedite action in the release of the district head and his subjects.
