The Adamawa State Command of the Nigeria Police has confirmed the abduction of four persons by suspected kidnappers.
“In the early hours of 17th February, 2025, at about 0130 hours, a gang of unknown gunmen suspected to be kidnappers encroached upon the community, firing sporadically to instill fear and abducted Abubakar Sadiq Umar (a.k.a. Haske), a staff member of Modibbo Adama University Teaching Hospital Yola, and three others,” the command said.
A statement released Tuesday morning by the command’s image maker, SP Suleiman Nguroje, said the incident took place in Mayokila Village, Mapeo District, in Jada Local Government Area.
“Upon receiving a distress call at about 0330 hours, the Commissioner of Police, CP Dankombo Morris, deployed the command’s operational manpower and assets to augment the strength of the Divisional Police Officer, Kojoli Division, for a tactical search and rescue operation,” the command explained.
It assured that it is intensifying efforts to rescue the abducted victims unharmed and bring the perpetrators to justice, urging members of the public, particularly residents of Jada LGA, to collaborate with the security agents deployed to ensure the safe return of the kidnapped victims.
“The police boss urges members of the community to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity to the police,” the statement added.
