The Katsina Police Command has nabbed suspects linked to the kidnap of Musa Umar, a District Head of Daura local government area of the state.

Gambo Isah, the spokesman of the police in Katsina, disclosed this in a statement made available to Okay Nigeria on Thursday.

A digital news platform had earlier reported the kidnap which happened on Wednesday evening at the residence of the district head.

Isah said that the kidnappers numbering six stormed the residence in a Peugeot 405, unregistered car, blue in colour, shot sporadically into the air, and abducted him.

The spokesman further disclosed that the State Commissioner of police and police patrol team later arrived the scene and arrested some of the suspects.

Unfortunately, a police officer was shot during gun battle with the kidnappers.

The statement read:

“The state Commissioner of police, CP Sanusi Buba, along with police patrol teams immediately arrived at the scene.

“Police patrol teams at Kusada Division Katsina State intercepted the hoodlums and engaged them in a gun duel and as a result of which one Inspector Muntari Maikudi attached to Kusada Division sustained a gunshot injury and was rushed to the Federal Medical Center Katsina for treatment.

“IGP Tactical Squad, SARS teams, PMF and counter-terrorism units have already been dispatched to rescue the victim alive and safely to his family.”

Sanusi Buba, the commissioner of police in the state, appealed to members of the public to provide timely intelligence on the activities of bandits.
