Armed bandits have kidnaped the wife, three children of the Adamawa district head.

Glamtush reports that heavily armed bandits have kidnapped the wife and three children of a District Head in Adamawa State, Ardo Mustapha Ahmadu (Sarkin Noman Adamawa)

A family source told Sahara Reporters that Hajiya Kulchumi and the children were abducted from their residence at Yolde-Pate, in the Yola-South Local Government Area of the state in the early hours of Tuesday, December 21.

Ardo Ahmadu, who is the District Head of Mayo-Farang under the Fombina emirate, was kidnapped in January 2021 and released after payment of N10 million ransom.

A spokesperson for the command, DSP Suleiman Nguroje, who confirmed the incident said men of the anti-kidnapping unit are in pursuit of the kidnappers.

“In the early hours of today, suspected bandits attacked the residence of the District Head of Mayo-Farang and kidnapped four persons, his wife and three children,” he stated.
