The Federal Government has confirmed the arrest of principal suspects in the abduction of the District Head of Daura in Katsina State Musa Umar.
The Chief of Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas, confirmed the arrest of principal suspects implicated in the incident, while addressing State House correspondents at the end of a security meeting at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
Umar was kidnapped by four gunmen on May 1st. The abductors were said to have stormed his Daura residence and fired gunshots into the air, making bystanders to scamper to safety.
Umar was said to have just returned from the Mosque where he took part in the evening prayer, when the incident occurred.
Ibas said efforts are being made as key suspects have been arrested and it is hoped that in a short while, those behind the heinous crime will be brought to book.
On the security briefing, the navy chief said that the meeting was basically meant to appraise the President of the security situation after his short vacation abroad.
