According to a family source, ACM Bashir was kidnapped on Sunday, August 20, 2023, while going back to his station to resume duty.

The source said the terrorists have contacted the family and demanded N10million ransom within three days.

“The NAF authorities and the military have refused to engage with his family. He was going back to his station to resume his duty. He had been mobilised to Niger State. But he was kidnapped along Birnin Gwari Road in Niger State,” the family source said.

“He was kidnapped on Sunday, and the military appears not to be acting enough to get him out,” another source added.
