According to reports obtained by Naija News, the abduction occurred when Ogbu, along with 15 other passengers, was traveling in an 18-seater commercial vehicle. Rabiu Mohammed Shuaibu, the public relations officer for the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCS), confirmed the incident, stating that both the police and the Department of State Services (DSS) have been informed. The abduction has prompted a call for prayers for the safe release of the officer from the Controller of Corrections at the Niger State Command.
Meanwhile, in a separate incident on Sunday evening, police operatives successfully thwarted a kidnapping attempt in Katsina State, rescuing 14 people. The incident occurred in Danāarau village along the Magama-Jibia Road in Jibia Local Government Area. Armed bandits reportedly opened fire on two commercial vehicles, attempting to abduct the passengers.
Upon receiving a distress call, the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of Jibia led a team of officers to the scene, engaging the assailants in a gunfight. The police were able to prevent the abduction and rescue 14 individuals. However, two of the victims were injured by gunfire and were rushed to a hospital for treatment. Tragically, one of the injured victims later succumbed to their wounds.
Authorities are actively pursuing the bandits, and investigations are underway to gather more details about the attack.
