In a tragic turn of events, the wife and two daughters of Muhammed Bashir, a journalist with the Nigeria Telegraph, were kidnapped on Thursday in Kaduna State. Bashir’s family had just arrived in Kaduna for a holiday when the incident occurred. They were visiting her family in a suburb of the city when gunmen abducted them along with several other family members.

Bashir, who is based in Lokoja, the capital of Kogi State, informed his colleagues about the kidnapping in a brief statement. He expressed his deep concern and revealed that he has already contacted the police and the Department of State Services (DSS) for help. Both agencies have assured him that they are working diligently to rescue his family and bring the kidnappers to justice.

This incident is a stark reminder of the increasing security challenges in parts of Nigeria, where kidnappings have become more frequent. Many families live in fear, and the situation has sparked widespread concern across the nation.

As of now, there are limited details available, but updates are expected as the situation develops. The authorities are urging the public to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities to the nearest security agencies.

The safety of Bashir’s wife and daughters remains a priority, and the hope is that they will be safely reunited with their family soon.
