Read Time:48 Second
One of the 10 members of the same family that were abducted on Thursday in Kaduna State was the wife and two daughters of journalist Muhammad Bashir, who is based in Kogi.
Earlier on Thursday, Bashir’s wife and their two girls traveled to Kaduna for a holiday celebration with her family, who reside in a Kaduna suburb.
This was revealed to coworkers in Lokoja, the capital of Kogi State, on Friday by Bashir, a Nigeria Telegraph correspondent, in a brief statement.
“My dear colleagues, please I need your prayers. My two daughters and their mother, including eight others, were kidnapped yesterday by unknown gunmen in Kaduna where they went for a holiday. Pls pray for me,” he wrote in the Kogi Correspondents’ Chapel WhatsApp platform.
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.
