A family member told Vanguard: “Up till now, we are in fear because the kidnappers are yet to contact the family. We don’t know whether he was kidnapped for ransom or to be killed.”

The State Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Bala Elkana, said four suspects have been arrested and were helping the Police investigations.
