Unknown gunmen invaded the residence of Alhaji Aminu Papa, the Zamfara State Managing Director of the State Mass Transit, abducted him and a member of his family on Saturday night at the Mareri area of Gusau, the State capital.
It was reported that there was a serious gun battle between the bandits and the local vigilante groups.
This forced the kidnappers to release a member of the family but whisked away the Managing Director.
“Yet, the vigilante groups still pursued the bandits; as a result of tension, they shot the MD on the foot and released him,” a source said.
