Dahiru Nyako, the elder brother of former governor of Adamawa State, Murtala Nyako, has been abducted.
Adamawa police spokesman, Suleiman Nguroje, said the 90-year-old was abducted in the early hours of Thursday at his residence in Mayo-Belwa town.
“The commissioner of police has dispatched a combined team of intelligence, anti-kidnapping and anti-robbery operatives to rescue him,” he said.
The number of gunmen who carried out the abduction is yet to be confirmed.
Locals said the gunmen shot in the air to scare residents when they arrived at the nonagenarian’s residence.
