Suspected kidnappers have abducted the wife and son of a security detail attached to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar in Yolde Pate, a surbub of Yola.
Sources said Wednesday that the incident took place in the night when the target was believed to still be around after arriving town with the former Vice President last weekend.
“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,” a source said.
It was also learnt, Wednesday, that a brother to one of the Adamawa State lawmakers was abducted about the same time elsewhere in the state.
