This abduction adds to the rising cases of high-profile kidnappings in Nigeria. Recently, SaharaReporters also reported that retired Brigadier-General Maharazu Tsiga, a former Director-General of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), was kidnapped from his residence in Katsina State. His abductors have demanded a N250 million ransom for his release.
The growing wave of kidnappings across the country continues to raise concerns about security, as more high-ranking officials become targets of criminal gangs.
