The former minister was abducted by the gunmen when he visited President Muhammadu Buhari’s nephew, Alhaji Mamman Daura at his Inuwa road residence in Kaduna Metropolis.
According to reports, the former Minister in company of a friend, had gone to pay condolence visit to the family of the late Sultan of Sokoto, Ibrahim Dasuki on kabiru road, few meters away from Inuwa Wada road and was said to stop over at the house of Daura who was at home receiving guests and other family members.
Getting out of his car and exchanging pleasantries with some guests who were standing in front of the house, three men inside an ash coloured Toyota Corolla car stopped, jumped down from the car and whisked the former minister away almost immediately.
Meanwhile, spokesman for the Kaduna Police command, Aliyu Usman who confirmed the incident, says a team of detectives have been deployed across the state to ensure safe and unconditional release of the former minister from his abductors.
Cases of kidnapping of high profile individuals is becoming rampant in Kaduna state.
In October, a former Minister of Environment, Mrs Laurenttia Mallam and her husband were abducted by gunmen along Abuja-Kaduna highway, and were released few days after.
This is inspite of the inauguration of a special anti kidnapping squad in the state by the Inspector General of Police two months ago.
