Bandits Strike Again, Abduct Mother of Hausa Musician Rarara in Katsina

Bandits have once again struck fear into the heart of Katsina State as they abducted Hajiya Halima Adamu, the beloved mother of renowned Hausa singer Dauda Adamu, popularly known as Dauda Kahutu Rarara. The incident occurred in the early hours of June 28, 2024, at her residence in Kahutu village, Danja local government area of Katsina State.

According to eyewitnesses, the bandits arrived on foot, silently infiltrating the village around 1 am. They approached Hajiya Adamu‘s house and forcefully took her away, leaving the rest of the household unharmed. The audacity of the bandits to target the mother of a prominent figure in the community has sent shockwaves throughout the region.

Rarara, known for his stunning music and support for the All Progressives Congress (APC), has yet to release a statement regarding the abduction of his mother. However, the incident has sparked outrage among his fans and the general public, with many expressing their condolences and prayers for Hajiya Adamu’s safe return.

The Katsina State Police Command has been alerted to the incident and has launched a search and rescue operation to secure Hajiya Adamu‘s release. The Commissioner of Police, Aliyu Musa, has assured the public that the command is doing everything possible to ensure her safe return and bring the perpetrators to justice.

This abduction comes amidst a growing wave of insecurity in Katsina State, where bandits and insurgents have been wreaking havoc on innocent civilians. The government’s inability to effectively address the issue has left many residents vulnerable and unprotected.
