Ambassador Bagudu Hirse, Former Minister of External Affairs was kidnapped by gunmen in front of Alhaji Mamman Daura’s residence on Inuwa Wada area at Ungwan-Rimi, Kaduna North Local Government Area of Kaduna State.

An eyewitness revealed to us that: “They asked him to get into their car but he attempted to resist by demanding for explanations from them but when people started approaching the scene, one of them raised up a gun and made an attempt to pull the trigger but it did not respond.”

“He tried it the second time and it failed. It was the third time a shot was released into the air and everybody scamper for safety. It was after then, they forced him into the car, removed his babariga (flowing gown) and cap and threw them on the ground. They thereafter drove away.”
