Shock As Gunmen Storm Daura, Kidnap Father-in-law Of Buhari's ADC

Musa Umar, the district head of Daura in Katsina state, has been kidnapped by gunmen.

 

Umar, a former customs officer, is reported to be the father of Fatima Musa, wife of Mohammed Abubakar, Buhari’s aide de camp (ADC).

 

NAN reports that police officers are on the trail of the criminals.

 

Witnesses told NAN that the kidnappers stormed his residence at 7pm on Wednesday and sporadically shot into the air, scaring the hell out of bystanders, who scampered for safety.

 

Umar had just returned from the mosque where he took part in the evening prayer when the incident happened.

 

He was sitting in front of his house with some people when the gun-toting men came.

 

A witness told NAN that the kidnappers came in a Peugeot 406 saloon car.

 

After the gunmen left, the Daura council chairman Malam Abba Mato and hundreds of sympathizers came to Umar’s residence, to discuss the bewildering incident.
