According to Daily Trust, gun-wielding men in their numbers forcefully took him to an unknown destination.
An eyewitness, who gave his name as Ozovehe said a yet-to-be-identified person was said to have been shot in the process
“A few minutes after, news started making the rounds that the gunmen invaded Kabiru’s office; and they left with him.
“It baffled most of us that his abductors took him away; because the place of the incident is just about 200 metre to where the soldiers mounted their roadblock around the ex-governor’s house."
Court remands Yahaya Bello in Kuje Prison
Meanwhile, Legit.ng reported that the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) High Court remanded Yahaya Bello in custody at the Kuje Correctional Centre pending his bail application on Tuesday, December 10.
The court also adjourned the case to January 29, February 25, and February 27, 2025, for further proceedings.
Justice Maryanne Anenih dismissed Bello’s bail application, because it was submitted on November 22, before Bello’s November 26 arrest and November 27 arraignment. The judge held that the application, having been filed when Bello was neither in custody nor before the court, his application was incompetent.
