It was further gathered that the terrorists operated for over an hour unchallenged shooting sporadically at the ceiling where the pastor’s son was hiding.
Mukaddas said they have since reported the matter to the Police but residents in the area have been thrown into confusion as contact was yet to be established with the kidnappers.
“We’re appealing to the government and security agencies to swing into action and ensure our loved ones are rescued,” he said.
The spokesman of the Kaduna State Police Command, DSP Muhammad Jalige, could not be reached as at the time of filing this report.
