75-year-old woman abducted in Sokoto

Sokoto State Police Command, on Saturday, confirmed the abduction of a 75-year-old woman, Hajiya Fatima Mohammed, by unknown persons.
The Command’s spokesman, Mr Sabo Kurawa, said in Sokoto that the incident occurred about 8: p.m. on Wednesday in Kebbe, headquarters of Kebbe Local Government Area of the North-West state.
The victim is also the mother of Alhaji Yusha’u Kebbe, the state’s governorship candidate of the defunct All Nigeria People’s Party (ANPP) in the 2011 elections.
Kurawa, however, explained that the whereabouts of the kidnapped woman was still unknown as the kidnappers were yet to either contact the police or the family of the victim.
” We are doing everything humanly possible to trace her whereabouts and free her safely from the abductors. We are, however, soliciting the support of the public by rendering useful intelligence reports that may lead to the successful rescue of the kidnapped woman.”
Her son, Kebbe, also confirmed the abduction of his mother.
”It is true that my mother had been kidnapped. However, this is only what I can say for now apart from seeking for fervent prayers from the public for her safe return to her family.”
