Police Intensify Efforts to Rescue Kidnapped Traditional Ruler in Katsina
Following the abduction of Musa Umar, a traditional ruler and member of the Katsina State Emirate Council, the police said efforts are ongoing to rescue him.
The Force Public Relations Officer, DCP Frank Mba, while reacting to the incident said the police has intensified rescue efforts, just as the police command has relocated to Daura.
He said: The Commissioner of Police in charge of Katsina State Command, CP Sanusi Buba has relocated his office from the state capital to Daura, where he is at moment coordinating security and investigative operations aimed at rescuing the recently kidnapped victim in Daura.
“Currently, there are massive strategic security operations, both covert and overt missions, taking place at different parts of the country, including Katsina aimed at subduing the criminal gangs and restoring sanity to the land.
“However, because of the covert and sensitive nature of these operations, I will not discuss them for now. But Nigerians should be assured that the entire law enforcement and intelligence community in Nigeria will not rest until we win the battle against crimes and criminality in Nigeria.”
Last week Wednesday, the Magajin Garin Daura, Musa Umar, was abducted from his Daura residence after observing his prayers.
Umar, a retired customs comptroller, who doubles as the traditional ruler is the father of Fatima Musa, wife of Colonel Mohammed Abubakar, the Aide de Camp ( ADC), to President Muhammadu Buhari.
