Fear and palpable tension have enveloped Keke community, Kaduna Millennium City, following the abduction of a two-year-old child and three sisters.
The victims are aged 2, 9, 12, and 15.
The incident, thegazellenews.com gathered, occurred around 9:00 pm on Tuesday, 26 November, 2024 when their father was on a visit to their mother, who was admitted to the hospital with newly born twins.
The father of the victims, Yunusa Sarkin Samarin Keke, said one of the children was an orphan under his care.
“I was not at home when the incident occurred because I was visiting my wife who was taking care of our sick newly born twins at the hospital.
“I left the children at home, including the 2-year-old boy and the sisters that night, only to return home and discover they were missing. I suspect it was kidnappers that took them away,” he said.
According to him, the children’s shoes were left scattered outside his gate.
He added that he had not heard from the abductors, noting that it was only his house that was invaded that night.
It was further gathered that the Keke community and surrounding areas of Kaduna Millennium City, have been terrorised by suspected bandits who usually kidnap residents for ransom.
As at the time of filing this report, the Kaduna State Police Command has yet to comment on the development.
