Mama Kunu is the mother of the flamboyant, heavy- spending senatorial candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdulkarim Abdulsalam Zaure, who only last week, clinched the ticket of his party by defeating Baheer Garba (Lado) at the polls. He is to contest against the likes of Ibrahim Shekarau of the NNPP, among others, in the 2023 polls.

Haruna added that already the police have deployed their tactical team to comb the whole area and ensure that the woman is released and her abductors arrested.
Meanwhile, there is no word yet from the suspected abductors of the mother of the politician, according to those familiar with the incident.
