declared that it had yet to ascertain the whereabouts of Alhaji
Abu Dakure, a Sokoto-based business tycoon, who was
kidnapped by unknown persons.
Dankure was kidnapped by unknown persons last Wednesday
in Sokoto.
The spokesman of the police command, Al-Mustapha Sani,
told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Sokoto that the
command was, however, monitoring the situation "very
keenly.
"We are on top of the situation but the kidnappers have not
made any call as yet; there is nothing about ransom for now,''
he said.
"His (Dakure's) GSM handsets are still off and the lines
cannot be reached by anybody,'' he said.
Sani, however, assured relations and anxious members of the
public that the police were working round the clock to unravel
the mystery behind the abduction of the businessman.
Alhaji Mamman Dangaladima, an elder brother to the
abducted business mogul, who also spoke with NAN, said that
prayers had been intensified for God's intervention in the
incident.
"We have prayed and shall continue to pray that God will
bring him back in perfect peace,'' he added.
Dangaladima, who noted that the abductors had not called
family members or security agencies, expressed optimism that
God would soon bring the family's harrowing experience to
an end.
The four unknown gunmen on Wednesday night seized
Dankure around 9 p.m. at the Kupper neighbourhood of
Sokoto, where he is constructing a new plaza.
His car, a Toyota Camry car, was, however, recovered by the
police in a farmland near Durbawa village in Kware Local
Government Area of the state.
