Wednesday, September 17, 2025 - Suspected bandits have kidnapped passengers travelling along the Wawal Kaza–Dayi road in Kankara Local Government Area of Katsina State, despite ongoing peace efforts in the region.
Security analyst Zagazola Makama shared the incident in a
post on X on Wednesday, reporting that the attack happened around 1:30 p.m. on
Monday, September 16.
The gunmen reportedly blocked a Sharon vehicle carrying
commuters from Zaria to Dutsinma and forced several passengers into the bush.
Among those abducted were two 300-level students of Federal
University Dutsin-Ma, Onwe Esther Chiamaka and Noah Patience, both from the
Department of Sociology.
A male student, Goza Darios Doorchuji of the Library Science
Department, was also taken but later rescued by security forces.
According to Makama, security operatives responded quickly
after receiving a distress call.
“They cordoned off the area and rescued Doorchuji unharmed.
“Efforts are ongoing to ensure the safe release of the two
female students and to apprehend the perpetrators,” he added.
