FORMER military administrator of Benue and Kano states, Gen Idris Garba, has called on Niger State Governor Abubakar Sani Bello to rescue his son, daughter in-law and their four children from kidnappers.
They were abducted with several other passengers by terrorists who attacked an Abuja-Kaduna train on March 26.
The former Milad said he has been traumatised by the incident.
Gen. Garba spoke at the weekend when he received the governor on a sympathy visit in his Kaduna residence.
Speaking on behalf of the traumatised former governor, one of his family members, Mr. Garba said they have been going through a lot of nightmares since the incident occurred.
He said: “The agonising incident is causing sleepless nights to members of the family. We therefore urge the state government to do everything possible to rescue the kidnapped children and grandchildren of the family.”
Commending the governor for the visit and concern over the unfortunate incident, Mr. Garba listed family members in captivity of the terrorists to include son, Abubakar Idris Garba, his wife, Maryam Bobbo and his four children, namely: Ibrahim, Fatima, Imran and Zainab.
The governor, represented by the Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Ahmed Ibrahim Matane, lamented over the chronic insecurity in the country.
He stated that the Abuja -Kaduna train attack by bandits marked another sad moment in the fight against terrorism in the country.
Bello appealed to the families of Gen. Garba, who is also the Wazirin Lapai and other families whose loved ones were abducted, to have confidence in the ability of government to do all that is needed in rescuing their dear ones.
