Suspected kidnappers have abducted a 60-year-old woman, Talatu Ali, from the Neuro-Psychiatric Hospital Dawanau in Dawakin Tofa Local Government Area (LGA) of Kano State.
Sources revealed that the victim, who had arrived at the hospital with her son, Nasiru Aliyu, and cousin, Aliyu Garba, from Yar Gaya Village, Dawakin Kudu LGA, went missing while awaiting medical consultation on February 19, 2025.
Efforts to find her within the hospital premises proved futile, prompting her family to report the case at the Dawanau Divisional Police Headquarters.
Two days later, on February 21, 2025, Aliyu received a chilling call from an unknown number, confirming that the abductors had taken her.
Authorities suspect the kidnappers may have deliberately targeted the hospital, exploiting security lapses to carry out the abduction. The Kano State Police Command has confirmed the incident and launched an investigation.
