A Zimbabwean national was allegedly abducted by bandits at a farm in Anchau town of Kubau local government area of Kaduna State, Nigeria, at the weekend.
A report by a Nigerian publication, Leadership, claims that bandits in large numbers invaded the farm, killed a soldier and abducted two officials of the farm.
One of the officials abducted in the incident is believed to be a Zimbabwean national while the other is a Nigerian.
Leadership reported a source as saying the bandits invaded the company around 1:30 pm on Wednesday. 
‎ 
A vigilante member working in the community identified the Zimbabwean as Charles Choko. He said:
<blockquote>
The bandits attacked and killed a soldier working on the farm and also kidnapped one Mr Charles Choko from Zimbabwe and one Yusuf Aliyu Bello from Kano state.
</blockquote>
A local who requested anonymity disclosed that he saw a team of security agencies on Friday ‎going into the nearby bush in search of the abducted victims.
However, the chairman of the local government, Basher Suleiman Zuntu, and Kaduna State police spokesman, DSP Muhammed Jalige, were not immediately available for comment when they were contacted by the publication.

Zimbabwean National Abducted By Bandits In Nigeria | Report

MDC Alliance deputy chairperson and former Minister for Finance and Economic Development Tendai Biti said that the legal instrument used by the government to introduce the RTGS Dollars in unconstitutional.
On Saturday, government gazetted a Statutory Instrument (SI) making the establishment of the local bond notes, real-time gross settlement (RTGS) balances and bond coins a separate legal tender. <a href="https://twitter.com/BitiTendai/status/1100014117216272386" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Writing on Twitter on Monday, Biti said:</a>
<blockquote>What a shame !! So ZANU has gazetted the Monetary Policy through a Presidential Decree. That on its own is unconstitutional. Parliament can not delegate its primary lawmaking function and the Presidential Powers( Temporary Measures ) Act Cap 10:20 is clearly unconstitutional.
The Presidential Decree, SI 33 of 2019, authorizes the RBZ to issue “electronic currency” in Zimbabwe. More fraudulently it declares that the RTGS Dollar is an “ electronic currency “and that all bond and RTGS balances as of the effective date ( 22 Feb) are “electronic currency “i.e. RTGS Dollar.
So legally Emmerson and his lot, have conspired, not only to devalue bank balances and wages but to cynically decimate and obliterate same by calling the RTGS and virtual currency. This is surely a bandit State presided over by bandits and highway robbers.</blockquote>
