The three children who are aged three, five and ten years were on Wednesday evening around eight o’clock kidnapped at their residence, Kaduna Estate, Ajaokuta Steel Township complex.

Eyewitness reports revealed that the kidnappers who were fully armed with guns shot sporadically to scare residents away before they abducted the children.
