Gunmen Kill Syrian Businessman, Abduct Son In Kano

Unknown gunmen have killed a Syrian businessman,ย Ahmed Areeda, and kidnapped his 14-year old son, Muhammad, inย Kano State.

DAILY NIGERIAN reports that the incident occurredย on Tuesdayย night atย 8:05pmย when the yet-to-be-identified gunmen waylaid the deceased as he was going to pick his car alongside his two sons at the Kano office of Nigerian Red Cross along Hospital Road.

It was also gathered that the deceased was shot dead by the assailants while resisting the abduction of his son.

Witnesses told DAILY NIGERIAN that the gunmen were about eight and that they attackedย the deceased when he went to pick his car in the Nigerian Red Crossย office premises.

A witness who preferred not to be named said, โ€œHe closed his shop aroundย 8:00 pm, so he went to pick his car at the Red Cross office compound whereย he used to park.

โ€œUnfortunately, the gunmen who parked outside the office in a green Peugeot car with tinted glass were apparentlyย waiting for him. Some of them followed him into the compoundย while others remained behind.

โ€œThose that followed the Syrian man inside the Red Cross officeย shot him in the head and took away one of his sons,ย Muhammad,โ€ he said.

Another witness who was emotional said the deceasedโ€™s second child ran
to his shop and informed him that some gunmen had killed his father,
saying โ€œWhen I went to the scene I met him dead. They shot him through
his ear.โ€

When contacted, the Police Public Relations Officer, Magaji Musaย Majia, confirmed the incident.

โ€œIt was a case of suspected kidnappers who came to kidnap a boy, and in the process they killed theย father,โ€ Mr Majia, a superintendent of police, said.

Mr Majia added that no arrest was made so far in connection with the
incident and the whereabouts of the abducted boy was still unknown.

He however, said that police had commenced investigation into theย case.
