A bizzare attack launched by some unknown gunmen in Zamfara State, had the state's Director of Budget, Alhaji Hamza Salihu kidnapped, while the agency's Deputy Director, Alhaji Kabiru Ismail was shot dead.

Yusuf Idris, the Director-General, Press Affairs to Gov. Bello Matawalle confirmed the incident in a statement released on Monday. He also revealed that the incident occurred near Kachia in Kaduna state, while the Zamfara State officials were on their way to Akwanga in Nasarawa state on an official trip.

“Zamfara State Governor, Dr Bello Matawalle, has described as terrible and disturbing, Sunday afternoon abduction of the state’s Director of Budget, Alhaji Hamza Salihu, who was abducted along with two other persons near Kachia in Kaduna State while on their way to Akwanga in Nasarawa State on an official trip.

“It is very unfortunate that while efforts are being strengthened to stop armed banditry, kidnapping, cattle rustling and other crimes peacefully without any bloodshed, some bad elements who have chosen to remain unrepentant will still use security uniforms to stop and kidnap unsuspecting law abiding citizens,” he said.

Promising to liaise with Governor Nasir el-Rufai and all security agencies to rescue the victims, the Zamfara state government also revealed that a lady was shot in the leg and abandoned at the kidnap scene in a pool of blood by the abductors.

Muhammad Auwal Hamza, son of the kidnapped Zamfara State Director of Budget also confirmed the sad incident.

El-rufai! Una don start for ya state again? Buratai will say this one is politics too.

Another sad news
God help us

Oga Buratai-are these senseless kidnapping/killings also political propaganda Worsening insecurity everywhere yet one Oba Akiolu in Lagos stupidly said "Obasanjo is the number one problem of Nigeria"?

The man drew attention to what core northern VIPs themselves have lamented about yet some ill-minded fellas will not see reasoning because of deluded sentiments.

The Northern Elders.........has stated that insecurity in the north is worse under Buhari.Chairman of the Northern Elders Forum, Prof Ango Abdullahi, who revealed that insecurity in the north is worse under Buhari than when Goodluck Jonathan was leading the country, added that the President is not doing enough to salvage the situation.

Government officials were at one point considered untouchables.

Trust me, Governors that do not use security convoys will bring them back now. Not only that, most of them will stay away from forest and remote roads leading to rural areas.

The only thing North contributes to the national productivity is terror.

Next level

When you ignore a defect in the society because you believe that defect only affect the poor and less privileged, one day that defect will grow wings and attack the very people who let it grow wings.

May he be unkidnapped soonest

Anybody that complains about the killings & kidnapping is immediately termed an enemy of Nigeria according to Miyetti Alllah and APC

The political class has finally destroyed Nigeria.

Na wa

Insecurity everywhere

Too many horrible news in the country already. What's all these mess.

May God come to out aid

How could this happened?

Guess Evans have relocated to zamfara

Evan's zamfara sleeper cell branch active SMH....

Indirectly and unknowingly Buhari will lead us to a new Nigeria we are all scared of fighting for. Let the country keep hitting up from every corner till massive revolution erupts. Let it continue.

The president should declare State of Emergency for all Fulani herdsmen!

Fgd

I thought the governor have given them 300 hectares of land for RUGA





It's herdsmen not gunmen.

Muhammad Evans at work.

No peace for the wicked!!!

Who did this?

What was their intention?

Kidnap?

Banditry?

Random herdsmen action?

Rustling?

Conspiracy?

Well, I am not a super fan of OBJ but I think instead of fighting the man and condemning his latest letter, people concerned with security should go out to fight the criminals.

Fulani again

HeheheheHehehehe
Best news of the day!!!!
Wow I'm so overjoyed!!!!

Next Level unleashed!
Next Level Fully Activated!!
Next Level on point!!!

Now things like these will be taken serious.

Ruga Director of Budget kidnapped because he refused to say no to Ruga rejected by Nigerians .

Economy zero , security less than zero *-negative-* yet some e-diots are still supporting Buhari claiming is fighting corruption.

Buhari is the greatest disaster that happened to Nigeria nation.
