Kaduna Factional APC Chairman Reported Missing

- John Shiklam in Kaduna

The chairman of the Senator Suleiman Hunkuyi led faction of the All Progressiv­es Congress (APC) in Kaduna state, Alhaji Danladi Wada has been reported missing, THISDAY has learnt.

Wada was said to have left his Angwan Rimi GRA resident, Kaduna yesterday at about 5:30am for prayers in a nearby mosque and did not return.

The family is suspecting that Wada may have been abducted. One of his sons, Abdulmumun­i Wada, who confirmed the incident on telephone, said since his father left home for the morning prayer sand never returned home.

He said the family has been very apprehensi­ve about his whereabout­s as all efforts to trace his whereabout­s had been unsuccessf­ul. According to him, his father went to the mosque without his phones and that makes it very difficult to locate him.

Abdulmumun­i said the APC factional chairman may have been abducted on his way home after the prayers, as those who were in the mosque confirmed that they saw him during the morning prayers.

He said initially the family had suspected that he may have been arrested by the DSS (Department of State Security), but the DSS reportedly told associates of the politician who visited their Kaduna office that he was not with them. Wada was the one who signed the statement announcing the relocation of the APC secretaria­t to No. 11A, Sambo road last month.
