Gunmen suspected to be bandits have killed two persons and abducted one other following an attack on Faruruwa village market in the Shanono Local Government Area of Kano State.
It was gathered that the incident occurred when traders were closing their stalls on Thursday evening.
The bandits were said to have targeted a prominent businessman whose wife had previously been kidnapped by gunmen and later released after a ransom was paid.
An eyewitness, who requested anonymity for security reasons, said: “They came straight to the businessman’s stall.
