Bandits have abducted a former Zonal Director of the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC), Ahmed Abdulkadir, his daughter and three others in an attack on Monday night in Bakori, Katsina State.
A colleague of Abdulkadir, who asked not to be named, told newsmen that the former NBC Director was abducted when the bandits stormed Shema quarters around 9 p.m.
His 15-year old daughter, Laila Ahmad, and three others in the quarters in Katsina state, were also abducted.
Nasif Ahmed, the broadcaster’s son, confirmed the incident but did not provide details.
Ahmed said, “Innalillahi wa’inna ilaihi raji’un. My father and my step sister Laila Ahmed, 15 years, have just been kidnapped by bandits in his house in Bakori.”
Abdulkadir was the General Manager of the Katsina State Television Authority before he joined the service of NBC, where he served as Head of Public Affairs and later zonal director in both Maiduguri and Sokoto zones.
