Isa Salihu, a member of the Kaduna state house of
assembly, has been abducted by unknown gunmen.
Salihu represents Magajin Garin constituency in the
assembly.
A source told TheCable that the incident happened on
Friday.
Usman Aliyu, spokesman of the Kaduna state police
command, said he could not confirm, but
investigations were ongoing.
“I can’t confirm until we investigate and establish it,”
he told TheCable.
Salihu’s abduction comes a week after Garba
Durbunde, lawmaker representing Takai/Sumaila
federal constituency of Kano state, was
kidnapped along the Jere-Abuja road, still in Kaduna.
Durubunde regained freedom after 24 hours in
captivity.
The high rate of insecurity in Kaduna has been a
source of concern to residents and the government.
There was a breakdown of law and order in the
southern part of the state earlier on Friday, following
the killing of a civilian by a soldier.
Angry youth had set ablaze an operational vehicle of
the military and blocked major roads in the town.
Nasir el-Rufai, governor of the state, has promised to
do his best to ensure the protection of lives and
property in the state.
