He said the operatives, who were in a white Sienna car without number plate came from Katari in Kaduna State and took the Wakili into their vehicle and drove off.
“The Wakilin Fulani just left Gada-Biyu while on his way to break his fasting, around 7:12 pm and while heading to his camp where he lives with his family, some detectives stopped him, alighted from their vehicle, grabbed him and whisked him away,” he said.
