The Bauchi State Police Command Spokesman, who confirmed the abduction of the former lawmaker, said that the victim was kidnapped within Bauchi metropolis.
“According to the information we received, he was trailed by his abductors who were four in number in a gold coloured car. They trailed him to his house around the BSADP (Bauchi State Agricultural Development Programme) area at Isa Yuguda Guest House within the metropolis.”
According to the PPRO, the gunmen seized their victim and drove away with him in the car they brought.
He said, “As of this morning (Friday), they have not called yet. Our intelligence men are working hard to get to the root of the situation and rescue him safely.”
Wakil therefore called on residents to be more security conscious, and be wary of vehicles and motorcycles that may be trailing them.
