Unknown gunmen have kidnapped the Assistant Controller of the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCS), Abdulraman Ibrahim Gelele, in Niger State.
The abduction was confirmed by Niger State NCS Comptroller, Mohammed Isa, on Friday.
In a statement released by the NCS Command spokesperson, Rabiu Mohammed Shuaibu, the command solicits support and prayers of Nigerians in securing the release of the abducted officer.
The statement reads in part: “On behalf of the officers and men of the command, we solicit your prayers for his safe release and freedom from captivity please.”
Gelele, who was attached to the Niger State command of the service, was reportedly kidnapped along Minna-Ilorin Road on April 17, 2024.
According to reports, the abductors initially made contact with both Gelele’s family and the NCS Command in Minna but subsequently cut off communications.
