Gunmen
terrorising Birnin-Gwari-Funtua Road, Kaduna State, have abducted an Assistant
Commissioner of Police, Emmanuel Adeniyi, and three of his family members.
Adeniyi
is the Officer-in-Charge of the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence
Department, Zamfara State Police Command.
Punch learnt that Adeniyi and his family
were travelling back to Zamfara from Kaduna on Wednesday when the gun-trotting
men flagged down their Toyota Hilux. The
gang reportedly dragged them from the vehicle and whisked them away in another
vehicle.
The
identities of the family members had yet to be ascertained.
Our
correspondents learnt on Thursday that the kidnappers had communicated with
their relatives, demanding N30m ransom for their release. Apart
from the ACP and his family, it was learnt that a police officer and three
others on a bus were abducted the same day on the road.
It
was gathered that several police units, including the Inspector-General of
Police Intelligence Response Unit and Anti-Kidnapping unit, had been deployed
to rescue the victims.
