The former Director of Personnel Management (DPM), Alhaji Usman Abdullahi Malami, and a veterinary doctor, Musa Mohammed, from the Department of Veterinary Medicine have been abducted by bandits in Kontagora Local Government Area of Niger State.
Daily Trust reports that the former DPM was kidnapped on Friday on his farm along Kontagora-Mariga Road together with some labourers that were working with him, while the veterinary doctor was reportedly abducted on Thursday morning while returning to Kontagora from surrounding villages where he had gone to vaccinate animals.
The bandits later called to inform the family that they were at a location in Katsina State and demanded a N15 million ransom.
A source who confirmed the incident to Daily Trust said the veterinary doctor was kidnapped while coming back to Kontagora from where he had gone to vaccinate animals in some villages.
He lamented that kidnapping has become constant on Kontagora-Mariga and Kontagora to Rijau roads, and appealed to the government to bring an end to such atrocities.
