Gunmen suspected to be kidnappers have snatched a newborn from a 19-year-old mother in Kidnawi 2, Maraban Gurku, Karu Local Government Area of Nasarawa State.
The incident occurred on Saturday night, Match 28, 2026.
Narrating her ordeal to the guardian newspaper on Monday, March 30, the mother, Aisha, recounted how the attackers invaded her room around 11:00 p.m. while she was asleep with her baby.
“I was asleep when I heard a loud knock on my door. Before I could react, two hefty men forced their way in. One grabbed my neck and covered my mouth, while the other took my baby and ran away,” she said.
Aisha said that she struggled to raise an alarm but could not get immediate help. Her husband was away in Lagos at the time
Chief Abubakar Yusuf Mai Anguwa Baƙo, the community leader, who confirmed the abduction to the publication stated that the incident has been reported to the police
Security operatives have begun efforts to trace the suspects, but all efforts proved abortive as no meaningful development has been recorded to that effect.
However, a neighbour said that residents did not hear Aisha’s cries until after the attackers fled to yet to be identified location.
Community members have conducted a search but are yet to find any leads.
