An expatriate worker with the Zenith Construction Company handling the construction of Mbiaya/Mbiakong road, in Uruan Local Government, Mr Fad Hamoua, has been kidnapped by unknown gunmen.
Hamoua was kidnapped in the early hours of Tuesday while his orderly, Sergeant Mohammed Garba, lost his life while trying to rescue him from the hands of his captors.
It was gathered that Hamoua was whisked away when he went to buy cement from a local cement shop within the community.
Speculations from some quarters alleged that the nonpayment of project funds prompted the company to resort to buying cement from local markets.
The Police Public Relations Officer, Odiko MacDon, who confirmed the incident to our correspondent Tuesday evening simply said
“yes it is true that there was kidnap case involving an expatriate, Fad Hamoua. We lost one of our officers, Mohammed Garba, who was with him that morning”.
