ABUJA—Following the abduction of former Director of Defence Information, Major General Rabe Abubakar, and his wife in Matazu Local Government Area of Katsina State on Saturday by suspected terrorists, defence headquarters has ordered the deployment of intelligence assets, saying troops were working round the clock to rescue the senior officer.
A senior officer, who spoke in confidence regarding the development, declined to give details of the ongoing operation but said “we are working round the clock to rescue him.”
Recall that the Commissioner of Police, Katsina State command, CP Ali Umar Fage, visited the scene and deployed additional assets and personnel to reinforce ongoing search and rescue efforts to ensure the rescue of the victims unhurt and apprehend the perpetrators.
