Ex-Defence Spokesman Rabe Abubakar And Wife K+dn@pped By B@ndits In Katsina

 

Retired Major General Rabe Abubakar, a former Director of Defence Information, and his wife have been abd¥cted by suspected b@ndits in Katsina State.

The couple were reportedly travelling to Katsina on Saturday when g¥nmen intercepted their Peugeot 406 in Matazu Local Government Area, opened f+re, and abd¥cted them. The driver survived despite suffering g¥nshot inj¥ries.

Katsina State Police spokesperson Abubakar Aliyu confirmed the incident, saying security operatives have launched a search-and-rescue operation. He added that the Commissioner of Police visited the scene and deployed additional tactical teams to support efforts to rescue the victims.

A security source said the att@ck occurred near Aduwa village, before Karaduwa. The inj¥red driver was initially treated at a healthcare facility in Matazu before being transferred to Katsina for further treatment.

The abd¥ction was first disclosed by former senator Babafemi Ojudu, who cited information from retired Brigadier General Sagir Musa.

Abubakar served as Director of Defence Information between 2015 and 2017 and was one of the military’s principal spokespersons, regularly briefing Nigerians on security operations across the country.
