Unknown gunmen kidnap district head of Daura, Buhari’s hometown
The district head of Daura town in Katsina state, Alhaji Musa Umar, has been kidnapped by four unidentified gunmen.
Daura is the hometown of President Muhammadu Buhari.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the kidnappers stormed Umar’s Daura residence at 7pm on Wednesday and sporadically shot into the air, scaring the hell out of bystanders, who scampered for safety.
Umar had just returned from the mosque where he took part in the evening prayer when the incident happened.
He was sitting in front of his house with some people when the gun-toting men came.
A witness told NAN that the kidnappers came in a Peugeot 406 saloon car.
After the gunmen left, the Daura council chairman Malam Abba Mato and hundreds of sympathizers came to Umar’s residence, to discuss the bewildering incident.
