One of the sources was quoted saying:
“The kidnappers believed that the police personnel, being so close to Atiku, would have money, so they went for him but took his wife and son when they did not find him."
Also, an elder brother of the state majority leader, Hammantukur Yetisuri, was kidnapped about the same time elsewhere in Adamawa state.
According to the report, he was taken from his home in Jada Mbulo by gunmen who demanded N50 million as ransom.
The sources claimed the gunmen got to the community at about 2 in the morning, shooting and breaking into the house of the lawmaker’s brother.
DSP Suleiman Nguroje, the public relations officer of the Adamawa state police command, was said to have confirmed the two abductions, but he did not give names.
He reportedly gave the assurance that the police would do everything to free the abducted people and bring the gunmen to book.
