The Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Aliyu Mukhtar, confirmed that the kidnappers attacked the house of the Ex-chairman of the vigilante group in Shika, Sabon Gari Local Government Area of Kaduna State, Alhaji Mustapha Ghali with strategies to kidnap its occupants.
Mukhtar said the kidnappers placed siege to the property of the abducted Alhaji Ghali and later kidnapped two of his daughters.
According to him, the Police Special Response Squad (PSRS) stormed the area and engaged the kidnappers in gun fight during which the victim, Ghali and two policemen were injured.
The PPRO also confirmed that the father of the abducted girls later died in a hospital while receiving treatment. He added that when the kidnappers could not stand police fire, they abandoned the two daughters and fled inside the bush.
