The eyewitness said the gunmen destroyed windows of the houses they raided and ordered their victims of the houses.
“There was nothing anybody in the community could do to challenge them because they were armed with guns. The victims had no option than to follow the attackers politely, as they risked being killed if they did not obey the bandits.
“The only grownup woman among those kidnapped was the police woman. When they attempted to break into her house, she ran out, not knowing that the bandits were many.
“As she ran out to escape, those waiting outside her house just picked her. Her teenage daughter was also taken as she tried to escape," he said.

Kore told newsmen that the incident happened at about 2am on Sunday, July 19th, 2020 in his residence at Kore in Danbatta Local Government Area of Kano.
“The abductors invaded my house and tied up my elder brother, Lawal Kore, whom they had mistaken for me. When he told them that I wasn’t home, they went inside my family’s quarters to verify his claim.
“They told my wives and children that they were there to kidnap me and were not ready to leave empty-handed, so they kidnapped my daughter instead of me,” the lawmaker said.
