The Katsina State Police Command has confirmed the abduction of a district head in the Funtua local government area of northern Nigeria.

The incident occurred on Monday evening in the Nasarawa neighborhood of the Funtua local government area.

In an interview with the BBC, the spokesperson for the Nigerian Police Force in Katsina State, ASP Abubakar Sadiq Aliyu, stated that the initial reports indicate the abduction of the district head named Samaila Buhari Mairago.

Family members have also confirmed that a ransom demand was made today (Tuesday).

Funtua is one of the regions heavily affected by the ongoing security crisis in Katsina State, and the situation is exacerbated by its proximity to the troubled Zamfara State, which has experienced a surge in insecurity.
