An Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP), Abdulmumini
Yusuf, serving at the Area Command in Ilorin, has reportedly been kidnapped by
suspected gunmen.
The state Commissioner of Police, CP Paul Odama, confirmed
the development to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Thursday in Ilorin.
“Yes, it’s true, but we are still on it,” Odama told NAN.
Spokesman of the command, SP Okasanmi Ajayi, in a statement,
also said the command was working to rescue the officer.
Ayayi said the motive of the abduction was still sketchy.
“The incident, as serious as it is, has not diminished the resolve of the command to protect lives and property of the citizens,” Ajayi said.
NAN was told that the incident occurred Tuesday night while
the police officer was about to enter his house in Ogidi area, Ilorin.
A resident of Ogidi community, Jamiu Abdulganiy, said the
development has thrown the community into apprehension, wondering why the
officer could be kidnapped.
