The incident took place around 11:30 p.m. on Monday, with the victims identified as Fatima Aliyu, the village head’s wife, and his sons, Abdullahi Aliyu and Kamal Aliyu. The bandits, who were heavily armed, arrived in the village and fired shots to disperse the locals, then forced their way into the village head’s residence by breaching the wall.

Hussaini Umar, the Sarkin Fada of Galadimawa, confirmed the attack on Tuesday morning and voiced the community’s distress. “The bandits abducted the second wife of our Village Head, Alhaji Aliyu Haruna Galadimawa, and his two children. The entire community is in shock and urgently needs assistance,” Umar stated.

He reported that the attackers specifically sought out the village head, inquiring about his location. Finding him absent, they then kidnapped his wife and children. The bandits thoroughly searched the house, including the ceiling, in their attempt to locate the village head.

Umar urged the state government to increase security by deploying military forces to the area, asserting that the current mobile police unit is insufficient. “We are pleading with the authorities to intervene and protect Galadimawa from these relentless bandits. With around 20 neighboring villages already taking refuge here due to insecurity, we remain vulnerable and in desperate need of help,” he added.
