Musa Umar, the district head of
Daura in Katsina state has just been kidnapped by gun men.
Umar, a former Customs officer,
is married to the daughter of President Muhammadu Buhari’s sister.
He is also 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 totting 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.
