A former Director of Defence Information, Major General Rabe Abubakar, and his wife have been kidnapped by suspected armed bandits in Katsina State, north-west Nigeria.
The incident reportedly happened on Saturday along the
Matazu axis of Katsina while the retired senior officer was travelling with his
wife to Katsina. Armed attackers intercepted their vehicle and took them away.
A security source told Sahara Reporters that the driver of
the vehicle was also attacked but managed to escape despite suffering a gunshot
injury during the incident.
According to reports, the vehicle used by the retired
general, a red Peugeot 504, was later found and has been taken to the Matazu
Divisional Police Headquarters.
An informal security message circulating among military
contacts, allegedly shared by retired Brigadier General Sagir Musa, confirmed
that the officer and his wife were abducted and urged authorities to act
quickly.
As of the time of this report, neither the Katsina State
Police Command nor the military had released an official statement on the
incident.
