Sources close to the family had said the attackers stormed the village and silently come on foot as the villagers never heard gunshots during the operation which “took only a few minutes”.
Rarara is a famed political singer and songwriter in northern Nigeria, known to have put out some songs in support of Muhammadu Buhari during the 2015 general election.
The Police Command in Katsina State have arrested two suspects in connection with the abduction of the mother of Hausa popular singer, Dauda Kahutu aka Rarara.
The Police Public Relations Officer in Katsina, ASP Abubakar Sadiq Aliyu, disclosed this in a statement on Friday.
According to the statement, the two suspects were being interrogated by the authorities.
The statement read, “Today, Friday, June 28, 2024, at about 0130 hrs, information was received at the Danja Divisional Police Headquarters that some suspected kidnappers silently invaded the residence of one Hauwa’u Adamu, f, age 75 years, of Kahutu village, Danja LGA, Katsina State and kidnapped her.
“Upon receipt of the report, promptly, the DPO Danja led a team of operatives to the scene with a view to arresting the culprits and rescuing the victim unhurt.
“During investigation, two suspects were arrested for questioning. Further development will be communicated in due course as the investigation proceeds,” the statement read.
It could be recalled that Rarara was the chairman of presidential singers during the former President Muhammadu Buhari administration and his songs played a significant role in mobilising supporters for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, especially amongst the Hausa-speaking communities in Nigeria.
