Although Kafayyat Odedoyin and Mohammed Ali live several kilometres apart, the duo share many things in common: they are both victims of kidnapping in Bauchi. They paid ransom to kidnappers and were subjected to torture before they were released. “I was beaten several times and had to live under shades for days, in the rains and cold”, Mohammed recalled the terrifying experience in the hands of his abductors.
A former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara has alleged that some operatives of the Nigeria Police Force, Bauchi Police Command are involved in gun running with some individuals who are also plotting to kill him. Earlier, WikkiTimes exclusively reported that over 100 guns were missing from the armoury of the state police command.
