File: Ex-Director of Defence Information, Brigadier-General Rabe Abubakar
The Defence Headquarters on Saturday mourned the death of a former Director of Defence Information, Major General Rabe Abubakar (retd.), who was abducted and later died in captivity.
The military high command also vowed to intensify ongoing operations aimed at tracking down those responsible and other criminal elements across the country.
Abubakar was reportedly kidnapped alongside his wife in May while travelling through Katsina State.
A video later surfaced on June 6 showing the retired general and his wife appealing to the Katsina State Government for the release of detained bandits and livestock.
