A five-year-old girl, identified as Asma’u, is said to have been kidnapped by yet to be identified persons on Tuesday morning at Zuba in the FCT. A resident of the area, Hussaini Hamza, said the incident happened at about 10:00a.m. when the girl was sent to buy seasoning cubes.
He said the girl’s mother sent her to a nearby shop to buy Maggi cubes, but she has not returned home since then.
He said the father of the missing girl reported the matter at the Zuba police station.

A text message to him was also not replied as at the time of going to press.
