The principal of Government Day Secondary School Ruma, Batsari Local Government Area of Katsina State, Malam Sa’idu Usha, has been abducted by gunmen.
The Principal was abducted on Friday evening after closing for the day and was returning to Batsari from Ruma.
The gunmen reportedly abandoned the motorcycle Mallam Usha was riding on and forced him to enter the forest.
One of the residents said, “The kidnappers have called Malam Sani’s immediate family but they didn’t ask for anything. When we called them after Asr ( 4 p.m prayers), they said we should stop calling them.”
The gunmen were yet to contact the family since then.
The spokesman for the Katsina Police Command, Gambo Isah, did not respond to the text message sent to him on the incident. He did not also pick his calls.
