A divisional police officer (DPO) in charge of Mubi north, Ahijo Mujeli, has been kidnapped.

Spokesperson of the state police command, Suleiman Yahaya, who confirmed this to newsmen, said Myjeli was abducted along Mubi-Maraba road on Tuesday night.

“He was driving in his personal car around 6.30 p.m., along Mubi-Maraba road near the toll-gate when he was abducted. There was sound of shooting around the area, when our men arrived, they met an empty car identified as his. 

We are hoping of positive result and I want to use this opportunity to advise members of the public with relevant security information on criminals to avail the command same for necessary action” Yahaya said

Recall that in October, an assistant commissioner of police, Ismail Rambo, was kidnapped in Kaduna while he was on his way to Jos, Plateau state capital. He was released 48 hours later.
