Bandits on Sunday morning attacked the staff quarters of National Tuberculosis and Leprosy Training Centre in Zaria, Kaduna State, where they abducted seven persons.

It was gathered that the bandits who came in a large number, struck around 12:30 am and abducted 5 staff of the centre and two nursing mothers.

“The armed bandits came in large number around 12.30 am and cordoned the area to avoid any re-enforcement,” a source said.
