Gunmen have abducted a high court judge in Biu local government area of Borno State, Haruna Mshelia alongside his wife, driver and orderly at Jiba town, along Biu-Maiduguri road.
Spokesperson of the state police command, Daso Nahum, said the incident occurred at about 9am on Friday.
“On reaching Jiba town, some unknown armed men stopped them and kidnapped them alongside two other commuter vehicles. So, they were taken away to the bush,” he said.
He said investigation and a manhunt of the gunmen had commenced.
Nahum added that the police are implementing all necessary security measures to ensure the safe rescue of the hostages.
“The police are in collaboration with other security forces, the military, the DSS and community members, to see how we can track the culprits and retrieve the victims,” he added.
