Gunmen have kidnapped a judge at a Shari’a Court located between Baure Zaka villages in Safana Local Government Area of Katsina State.
The judge, who was identified as Alhaji Husaini Sama’ila was, according to a resident (name withheld), abducted at about 3:00 pm on May 18 while on a personal visit to the court which was relocated to Safana for security purposes.
The judge was recently moved to Safana town to continue duties as a judge because of the worsening insecurity challenges face the two villages where the court was established earlier.
