Terrorists invading Nigerian communities are increasingly becoming more ferocious in their aggressive tendencies. They have moved on to kidnapping an Air Force officer and demanding for ransom.
It is a level of insecurity that people say is now very worrisome.
If security personnel who are supposed to be protecting civilians are being abducted by terrorists, then it goes beyond imagination how vulnerable civilians are.
ACM Shuaibu Umar Bashir, a Nigerian Air Force (NAF) officer was kidnapped by terrorists while on his way to resume duty.
The NAF officer was kidnapped along Birnin Gwari Road in Niger State when returning to his station to resume duty.
The Ransom
You see, Nigeria seems to be a safe haven for criminals. One can easily tell this by the way these criminals operate.
Imagine kidnapping a NAF officer and demanding for a ransom.
Bashir’s relatives confirmed the incident to SaharaReporters.
They disclosed that the terrorists have demanded ₦10 million as ransom.
Also, they gave the family a three-day deadline to make payment.
A family source told the platform that ACM Bashir was returning to his station to resume duty when the terrorists kidnaped him.
Still, the NAF and military authorities have refused to engage the family on the matter.
No Official Statement
The NAF officer was reportedly kidnapped on Sunday. However, the NAF authorities are yet to make any official statement concerning the incident.
A family source disclosed that “the NAF authorities and the military have refused to engage with his family.
“He was going back to his station to resume his duty. He had been mobilised to Niger State.
“But he was kidnapped along Birnin Gwari Road in Niger State”.
