On Sunday Yesterday in the evening three armed unidentified gunmen  abducted former minister of foreign affairs, Ambassador Bagudu Hirse.

The
incident happened just right in front of  Alhaji Mamman Daura, a relative to President Buhari on Inuwa Wada road in
Kaduna.
Hirse and his friends his friend, had gone to pay condolence visit to the
family of the late Sultan of Sokoto, Ibrahim Dasuki on kabiru road, few
meters away from Inuwa Wada road and was said to have decided to make a
quick stopover at the house of Daura who was at home and was receiving
guests and other family members.
Hirse was with Talba his friend and was exchanging pleasantries
with some guests who were standing in front of the house, when an ash
coloured Toyota Corolla car drove into the street at top speed and
stopped in front of Hirse and his friends.
He said the three armed masked young men jumped down from the car and accosted the former minister almost immediately. This is what a closed ally to Hires revealed to us….
“From
what I could hear, they were asking him to get into their car but he
was trying to seek further explanations from them but at that time,
people started approaching the scene so one of them raised the gun he
was holding and made to shoot but it did not fire, he tried it the
second time and it failed, but the third time, a shot rang and people
ran for dear lives.”

Currently, his location is not known and security forces have been alerted. Efforts are on in order to see that he is rescued.
