Four gunmen on Wednesday kidnapped Musa Umar, the district head of Daura, the hometown of President Muhammadu Buhari in Katsina State.
Umar, a former Customs officer, is the father of Fatima Musa, wife of Colonel Mohammed Abubakar, the Aide de Camp (ADC) to President Buhari.
The attackers shot sporadically at about 7 pm to disperse the crowd before whisking the traditional ruler away in a Peugeot 406 saloon car.
Umar had just returned from the mosque where he took part in the evening prayer when the kidnappers came in a Peugeot 406 saloon car.
After the gunmen left, the Daura council chairman Malam Abba Mato and hundreds of sympathisers came to Umar’s residence to discuss the incident.
