  Gunmen abduct Katsina SSG’s brother

Gunmen have abducted Kabir Muhammed, elder brother of Secretary to the State Government(SGS) of Katsina, Mustapha Mohammed Inuwa.

Confirming the incident to newsmen, the Director Press to the SGS, Abdullah Yar’adua, said the 78-year-old was abducted from his home town in the Danmusa Local Government Area of Katsina.

Yar’adua however denied reports in certain quarters that the SSG’s children and relatives were also abducted.

He said: ‘’The man was abducted alone while on his farm on Wednesday, September 1, in Diftau, located in Danmusa Local Government Area.

‘’The matter has since been reported to the security agencies who are on top of the matter, though no demand has been made by his abductors.”

Danmusa, which is just about an hour drive to Katsina State capital, has remained one of the epicenters of banditry and other criminalities.

The abduction of the SGS’ elder brother was barely a month after the death of his 58-year-old younger brother, Rabe Muhammad, following a brief illness.
