The Youth Leader of the Tinubu/Shettima Campaign Organisation in Zamfara State, Bashir Isa Gusau, has been abducted by gunmen suspected to be bandits, throwing his family and associates into panic.
The incident was revealed on Thursday by a security analyst known as Bakatsine, who shared details of the abduction on social media. According to him, more than 30 heavily armed men invaded Gusau’s residence in Gusau town and whisked him away in the presence of his wife.
