The abductors of retired Major General Rabe Abubakar, former Director of Defence Information, have released a video showing him and his wife in captivity.
The couple was seized along the Marabar Musawa–Kafinsoli road in Matazu Local Government Area of Katsina State, near Zakin Baure village.
In the four‑minute footage circulated on social media, Abubakar’s wife relayed the kidnappers’ demands: the release of three detained members identified as Sani, Aminu, and Nasiru and the return of livestock allegedly confiscated from them.
She appealed to the Katsina State Government and leaders of five local councils to intervene and secure their freedom.
Abubakar, speaking briefly in the video, urged for peace and dialogue, noting the abductors had expressed willingness for coexistence.
Reports also suggest that notorious bandit leader Kachallah Muhammad, active in parts of Katsina, has established contact with the general’s family.
As of press time, neither the Katsina State Government nor security agencies have issued an official response.
