A family in Kaduna State is facing uncertainty after suspected bandits abducted a pregnant woman during a nighttime attack on Alrahus Estate in Millennium City, Chikun Local Government Area.
The incident reportedly occurred around 11:30 p.m. on October 5, 2026, when armed men invaded the estate and broke into several homes, abducting four residents, including the pregnant woman, a couple and their six-month-old baby.
The woman’s husband, Abdulladir Bello, said he was in Abuja when his wife called to alert him that attackers were attempting to force their way into their compound. He reportedly contacted security personnel for assistance, but his wife was eventually taken.
According to reports, the abductors later contacted him to demand a ransom for her release. Although a ₦500 million ransom demand has been cited in the headline, the amount could not be independently verified from the reports reviewed.
The abduction has renewed concerns about insecurity in Kaduna communities, with residents calling for stronger security measures and the safe return of those held captive.
