Journalist’s Wife, Two Daughters, Family Members Kidnapped In Kaduna

Gunmen have kidnapped the wife and two daughters of a Kogi-based journalist, Muhammed Bashir, and other seven members of the same family in Kaduna State.

It was gathered that Bashir’s wife and his two daughters were kidnapped after arriving in Kaduna earlier on Thursday for a holiday with her (the wife’s) family in a suburb of Kaduna.

Bashir, a correspondent with the Nigeria Telegraph, disclosed this to colleagues on Friday in Lokoja, the Kogi State capital, in a terse statement.

According to him, his family left Abuja that same Thursday for Kaduna but were kidnapped at their residence on Thursday night.

He noted that he had contacted the police and the Department of State Services, and had been assured that steps were being taken to rescue the victims and arrest the kidnappers.
