Gunmen suspected to be bandits have abducted Ambassador Bashir Isa Gusau, who served as the North-West Youth Leader of the Tinubu/Shettima campaign organisation in Zamfara State.The incident occurred on Thursday when over 30 armed men stormed Gusau's residence in Gusau town, the state capital, and forcibly took him away in the presence of his wife.
Security agencies were promptly notified following the abduction, but as of the latest reports, efforts to locate or rescue the victim have yielded no results. No official statement has been issued by security authorities regarding the incident.
The abduction was highlighted in a post by security analyst Bakatsine on X (formerly Twitter), who expressed concern over the ongoing banditry in the region: “Gunmen suspected to be bandits abduct Ambassador Bashir Isa Gusau, North-West Youth Leader of Tinubu/Shettima, Zamfara Chapter. Over 30 armed men stormed his home in Gusau and abducted him before his wife.
Security agencies alerted, but no trace yet. How long will these bandit attacks continue?”Ambassador Gusau's role involved mobilizing youth support for President Bola Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima during their campaign efforts in the North-West zone, particularly in Zamfara.
The kidnapping indicates the persistent security challenges in Zamfara State, where banditry and abductions remain a major threat to residents despite ongoing government efforts to curb insecurity in the northwest region.
No ransom demands have been reported, and the situation remains under investigation with no further updates on the victim's whereabouts or condition.
