If so, be it, they have been kidnapped; nobody from the community came to report to the police that people have been kidnapped.When people come to report to the police, we immediately move to the area to confirm. “Most of them are under threat that if they report, they (bandits) will come for them again. So, they will rather remain mute. Sometimes, when we go there, they even deny it.But nonetheless, there is nothing like 150 people kidnapped; we dont have that official report.”Sokoto: Governor Aliyu might not win 2nd term
