Katsina Ramps Up Rescue Operation for Kidnapped Retired General and Wife

The Katsina State Government has stepped up efforts to free retired Major-General Rabe Abubakar, his wife and other victims seized along the Matazu axis. A statement from the Commissioner for Information and Culture says Governor Dikko Radda ordered all security agencies to make their safe return a top priority. Early findings point to a deliberate, targeted abduction. Officials say evidence shows the general and his spouse were trailed from Kaduna before being seized. The precision of the attack suggests organised criminal involvement and a shift in the tactics of kidnappers in the region. Authorities are combining technology and ground intelligence in the manhunt. The state government is working with the Nigerian Army, police and other agencies to secure a breakthrough without endangering the hostages. Residents are urged to report any suspicious movements that could help dismantle the network behind this crime.
