Days after launching an attack in Zamfara State on Thursday, bandits hit Kebbi State on Sunday, kidnapping Kebbi State High Court judge, Justice Faruku Hassan Bunza.
He was taken from his residence along Zogirma Road in the Bunza Local Government Area, shortly after returning from a trip to Sokoto.
