Witnesses said Sanusi was abducted in his residence in Gwantu, headquarters of Sanga Local Government Area in Kaduna State, Chronicles reports. Gwantu is about 2 hours drive to the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.The armed bandits, numbering about eight, trailed Sanusi from his farmhouse to his residence, a security official said.The bandits did not harm anybody inside the house, where Sanusi’s two wives also reside.“When they came to the house, they found three young men, including the younger brother of the victim. They asked ‘where is Sanusi?’ They were told that he was not around. But they insisted that they saw him alighting from his car not long ago,” one of the sources said.Another source said the gunmen tied up one of the young men identified as Sanusi’s younger brother.
“As the bandits were coming out of the gate, they met Sanusi coming in. They quickly released the boy and took away Sanusi,” the security source who spoke on condition of anonymity, said.
