N.B. Ahmed, a Lieutenant Colonel of the Nigerian Army, has been abducted following an ambush on a military convoy by gunmen suspected to be terrorists.
It was gathered that the senior military officer was abducted along Tsafe (Zamfara)/Funtua (Katsina) road on Friday, January 6.
The abducted officer is the new commanding officer of the 8 Division of the Nigerian Army, Sokoto.
“Our new boss who resumed on Friday was attacked while being escorted to Kano. He was taken away by the gunmen,” a military source told SaharaReporters.
This comes a few days after a female Lieutenant, P. P. Johnson was abducted by unknown gunmen in Imo State.
