Maharazu Tsiga, retired Brigadier General, has been reportedly abducted in Tsiga village, Bakori Local Government Area of Katsina State.

Tsiga, a former Director-General of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), was said to have been abducted alongside nine other residents.

Although details surrounding the abduction are still sketchy, sources told our correspondent that the incident occurred around midnight on Wednesday.

Residents, who spoke anonymously, said the former NYSC DG was among those taken by the bandits.

There are reports that two people were killed during the incident but Daily Trust hasn’t independently verified this.

Police Public Relations Officer in Katsina, Abubakar Sadiq Aliyu, had not responded to inquiries sent to him regarding the incident as of the time this report was filed. Katsina is one of the North West States affected by banditry.
