In a shocking incident, Hajiya Halima Adamu, the mother of renowned Hausa musician Dauda Adamu, known as Rarara, was abducted from her home in Kahutu village, Danja local government area of Katsina State, during the early hours of Friday.
The bandits reportedly infiltrated Kahutu village around 1 am. According to local sources, the assailants approached the village on foot and carried out their operation with an alarming level of stealth and efficiency. Remarkably, they did not discharge any firearms during the abduction, conducting the entire operation silently.
A village source recounted the incident, stating, “The bandits came quietly and quickly. They did not use any firearms during the brief operation. The woman complied without resistance when they instructed her to come with them.” This account underscores the precision and planning involved in the abduction.
The targeted nature of the abduction has left the local residents deeply troubled. The assailants, armed and prepared, specifically kidnapped Hajiya Halima Adamu while leaving other occupants of the residence unharmed. Witnesses, fearing for their safety due to the visible weapons carried by the bandits, chose not to intervene.

In response to this alarming event, local authorities have launched a search and rescue operation aimed at ensuring the safe return of Hajiya Adamu. The community remains on high alert, with residents anxiously awaiting any updates on the situation.
Efforts to obtain an official statement from the Katsina State Police have so far been unsuccessful. Attempts to contact Aliyu Sadeeq, the Katsina State Police Public Relations Officer, for an update on the issue were futile as he did not answer his calls or respond to a text message sent to his phone.
This incident is not the first time Rarara’s family has been targeted. In April 2016, Rarara himself was reportedly kidnapped and later released after paying a ransom of N2.8 million. The recurrence of such events highlights the ongoing security challenges in the region and the vulnerability of public figures and their families to such attacks.
The abduction of Hajiya Halima Adamu is a stark reminder of the persistent insecurity plaguing many parts of Nigeria, particularly in Katsina State. As the search and rescue operations continue, the local community and the nation at large hope for her safe and swift return. This incident also underscores the need for enhanced security measures to protect vulnerable communities from such criminal activities.
