Heavily pregnant woman kidnapped few days to delivery in Zamfara

A nine month pregnant woman has been abducted by gunmen in Zamfara State.

The victim, identified as Ramatu Yunusa, is said to be the wife of the former chairman, Zamfara State chapter of the Nigeria Union of Local Government Employees (NULGE), Alhaji Sanusi Gusau.

Daily Post reports that Ramatu Yunusa was whisked away from her husband’s house in Damba Gusau, in the early hours of Tuesday.

Confirming the incident, the husband, Mr. Sanusi said that the bandits broke into his house around one o’clock in the morning on Tuesday and abducted his pregnant wife.

According to him, “It was a terrible situation that nobody was able to come to assistance, not even the so-called security operatives stationed in the area.

“They jumped over the wall and broke my doors but before they could enter my room, I was able to hide in a place where they could not locate me, I knew that I was their target.

“When they ransacked the house and could not find me, the only option left for them was to abduct my pregnant wife, Ramatu”.
