After the occupants were robbed, the attackers “whisked away Dauda.” His identity was confirmed by his NYSC ID card, which was found in a bag left behind in the vehicle.
Security forces have reportedly launched a coordinated operation to find the abductors and secure the victim’s release.
As of the time of this report, the Nigeria Police Force’s state command has not released an official statement on the incident.
