Suspected kidnappers, today, abducted a senior military officer serving with the Nigerian Army School of Infantry, Jaji, near Kaduna, Colonel Samaila Inusa in Kaduna.
A statement by the spokesman of the One Division of the Nigerian Army, Kaduna, Colonel Usman Abdul, said Inusa was abducted yesterday at about 7:30pm along Kamazo road, near NNPC junction, Kaduna.
Inusa, who was said to have been driving in his car with his wife inside, were said to have been blocked by the abductors who pulled the wife out of the car, took over his car and drove off with him towards Abuja road.
Colonel Usman said: “the abductors dropped off his wife and left with him in his car. They car headed towards Abuja. Anybody with useful information or assistance should please assist in tracking these abductors. They are in a Mercedes Benz GLK Black colour with registration number Abuja, KUJ 154 TZ.
“This happened at about 7:30pm on Saturday 26 March 2016.”
The statement requested members of the general public to assist in fishing out the abductors by providing any useful information through the following phone numbers: 08033865572,
08030489203, 08023445961, 07038025282 and 08058130703.
The abduction of the army officer came one week after President of the United Church of Christ in Nigeria, Rev. Emmanuel Dzigau and two other clergies were abducted on Monday last week along Abuja Road.
The clergy men are yet to regain their freedom as their abductors who had earlier demanded for N100 million ransom later reduced their demand to N50 million and threatened to kill them if the money was not paid in time. [myad]
