According to a post by Oseni Rufai on his verified Twitter profile, two journalists from Kaduna, Abdulraheem Aodu of Blueprint and Abdulgafar Alabelewe of The Nation, were kidnapped by masked thugs.
The two journalists' residences were among the targets of the Saturday night attack, according to Channels Television.
A relative told Channels Television that at about 10:30 p.m., gunmen stormed the Danhonu neighbourhood, aiming their assault squarely at the houses of two journalists who happen to live in close proximity to one another. Along with their wives and children, they were seized.
