The incident was said to have taken place in Mahuta community of the Igabi Local Government Area of the state on separate days.
Gunmen have kidnapped two Kaduna lecturers. The two kidnapped lecturers are siblings and said to be indigenes of Kebbi State.
Spokesman for the Kebbi State Indigenes Association in Kaduna State, Garba Muhammad, gave the names of the two lecturers as Dr Adamu Chinoko and Dr Umar Chinoko.
