Unknown gunmen have abducted the wife and son of a security detail to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar in Yola, Adamawa State, according to the police.
They were kidnapped on Monday night in Yolde-Pate, Yola.
“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.
The security detail is believed to be in town with Atiku.
Adamawa police spokesperson, Suleiman Nguroje, confirmed the abduction, assuring that the police would do everything to free the victims and bring the culprits to book.
