The incident occurred in the early morning of June 28, 2024, at her residence in Kahutu village, Danja Local Government Area of ​​Katsina State.

According to eyewitnesses, the bandits entered the village on foot at around 1am. They approached Hajiya Adamu’s house and abducted her, leaving the rest of the family unharmed.
