Armed bandits, on Saturday night, abducted a bride, her bridesmaids, and several well-wishers in Chacho village, Wurno local government area of Sokoto State, disrupting preparations for a wedding scheduled for the following morning.
The attackers reportedly invaded the community around midnight, firing sporadically before whisking away the victims. Residents said women who had gathered to support the young bride were among those whisked away to an unknown location.
Attempts to reach the Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Ahmed Rufai, were unsuccessful, as he neither answered phone calls nor responded to text messages sent to him.
