The abductors of retired Major General Rabe Abubakar, a former Director of Defence Information, have released a video showing the general and his wife in captivity.
The couple were kidnapped along the Marabar Musawa–Kafinsoli road in Matazu Local Government Area of Katsina State, near Zakin Baure village.
In the four-minute video circulating on social media, the wife of the retired general conveyed the abductors’ demands.
The demands include the release of three of their members identified as Sani, Aminu and Nasiru, as well as the return of livestock allegedly seized from them.
According to her, two of the detained individuals were arrested in Jikamshi, while the third was arrested in Kano.
She also appealed to the Katsina State Government and leaders across five local government areas to help facilitate compliance with the demands to secure their release.
The retired general, who spoke briefly in the video, called for efforts to ensure peace, adding that the abductors had expressed willingness for dialogue and peaceful coexistence.
Daily Trust reportes that a notorious bandit leader, Kachallah Muhammad, who operates in parts of Katsina State, had reportedly established contact with the family of the retired general.
