Bandits abduct DPO on his way to assume duty in Kaduna

A Divisional Police Officer (DPO) posted to Birnin-Gwari ‎has been reportedly abducted by bandits along the Kaduna-Birnin-Gwari highway.

His abduction came barely 24 hours after it was reported that the Ansaru terrorist groups have banned political activities in the area.

Eyewitnesses told journalists that the incident happened around 9 am on Monday on the DPO’s way to Birnin-Gwari to resume duty.

It was not clear if the officer was travelling alone in his vehicle when he was abducted but multiple sources have confirmed that since he left Kaduna, he is yet to be seen or heard.

Sources affirmed they have spoken with him on his way, saying, “From our own investigations, he (DPO) had not reported there.”

It was also gathered that all his mobile phone lines were not reachable since he embarked on the journey.

The state police command is yet to react to this development.
