Gunmen kidnap father of Borno Commissioner

Gunmen suspected to be Boko Haram yesterday kidnapped the father of the Borno State Commissioner for Women Affairs, Hajiya Inna Galadima, Alhaji Galadima.
Sources said the man was kidnapped from his house yesterday afternoon.
Details of the kidnap were sketchy as at press time but sources said three gunmen stormed Galadima’s house in a Volkswagen Golf car, shot sporadically and forced the old man into their car.
“He is aged and has some health issues. We’re really concerned about his condition of health now. To worsen the situation, there is no GSM service to contact the people. It is a big problem and we’re confused now,” a family source said.
