āWe are on it, but because of the nature of the incident, we would not be able to disclose much details,ā Mr Amaraizu said. āHe went to his farm and was kidnapped, that should do for now.ā
It is however unclear whether the kidnappers have contacted the family or security operatives, as the Police are said to be withholding detailed information about the abduction.
