Suspected gunmen have reportedly kidnapped a man alleged to be the immediate younger brother of Zamfara State Governor, Dauda Lawal.
This was disclosed in a post shared on X on Monday.
As captured in a disturbing video attached to the post, the man could be seen alongside another kidnapped as they sat on bare ground with two gunmen heavily strapped with live ammunition standing behind them.
The said brother of the Zamfara governor was questioned in Hausa language by one of gunmen in what seemed to be a probe and confirmation of his relationship with the Dauda Lawal.
While being interrogated, the gunmen behind him and the other kidnapped victim were shoved guns on their heads.
According to reports, the victims were abducted in a yet-be-confirmed rural axis of Zamfara state.
However, there is no official confirmation of the incident yet and the state governor is also yet to confirm the kidnap of his brother as at the time of filing this report.
