Suspected bandits have abducted two men from the Wusasa area.

The community head, Engineer Isiyaku Ibrahim, has confirmed that two local health workers were taken by gunmen during a raid on Friday night.

The victims are Yushau Peter, a worker at St. Lukes Hospital in Wusasa, and his brother, Joshua Peter.

The unfortunate news is all the more disheartening given that both men are natives of Ikara local government, where they had previously sought safety after bandits attacked their hometown and abducted their father.
