Retired Major General Rabe Abubakar, a former Director of Defence Information, is abducted along with his wife by suspected gunmen in Katsina State, according to two Nigerian reports. Both outlets say the incident occurs in Katsina, and that Abubakar and his wife are taken from the area where they were located by armed attackers. The reports describe the perpetrators as gunmen or suspected bandits, without providing additional details on their identities or the exact location of the abduction. Vanguard and The Punch also indicate that security forces are responding. The Punch says military efforts are underway following the kidnapping, while Vanguard reports the abduction as a bandit attack but similarly does not provide further confirmed information about negotiations, ransom demands, or the couple’s condition. No outlet provides details about the time of day, the route taken by the abductors, or whether any arrests have been made. The situation remains ongoing as authorities conduct searches for the abducted couple.
