An Assistant Commissioner of Police in Nigeria has been kidnapped, the Punch Newspaper is reporting, quoting a top police source.

Isa Rambo, who works as a police area commander at the Suleja Area Command in Niger State, was reportedly abducted by yet to be identified gunmen in Kaduna State.

He and his driver were said to have been abducted on their way to Jos on Saturday evening.

The kidnappers have demanded N50 million ransom, the police source told Punch.

The police are yet to confirm the kidnap.

The Kaduna police spokesperson, Yakubu Sabo, did not respond to PREMIUM TIMES enquiry on Saturday evening and Sunday morning.
