Gunmen suspected to be kidnappers have abducted the Divisional Police
Officer (DPO) for Mubi North Local Government Area in northern Adamawa
State, security sources have said.
Residents said the DPO, Ahijo Mujeli, was kidnapped Tuesday night at
Mararraban Mubi while coming back from Yola, the state capital.
“The DPO was coming back from Yola and all of a sudden some yet to be
identified gunmen wielding sophisticated rifles attacked him at
Mararraba at about 8 p.m. and whisked him away to an unknown
destination” a local resident who asked not to be named said.
When contacted on the phone, the Adamawa police spokesperson, Suleiman
Nguroje, said the DPO was abducted by gunmen on Tuesday night, along
Mubi-Maraba road.
“He was driving in his personal car around 6.30 p.m., along
Mubi-Maraba road near the toll-gate when he was abducted.
“There were gunshots around the area. When our men arrived, they met
an empty car identified as his,” he said.
Nguroje added that the anti-kidnapping unit and Intelligence Response
Team (IRT) of the Inspector-General of Police swung into action,
trailing the suspected kidnappers.
