The prolonged silence of suspected kidnappers since the abduction of Magajin Garin Daura Musa Umar Uba at his residence in Daura, is raising more questions than answers. It is also sparking fears, leaving family members and residents confused, even as postulation of several theories are increasing. It is 11 days now, since his abduction by unidentified gunmen who stormed his home in the ancient city of Daura after Magrib prayers.

Daily Trust Saturday’s findings revealed that there has been no communication established with the kidnappers. This is after reports that key suspects have been arrested, according to the Chief of Naval Staff, Rear Admiral Ibok Ekwe Ibas, who disclosed it at the end of a security meeting with President Buhari at the State House, Abuja, on Thursday. Speaking on behalf of his colleagues, he told correspondents that the criminals will be brought to book.

Family sources at the time of filing this report, however, told Daily Trust Saturday that they are yet to receive any update on rescue efforts. One of them said they only heard it in the media that security operatives have made arrests, while another said the lack of information is also causing them a lot of anguish.
