Mr. Sam Saba, the Chairman of the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB), was abducted by unknown gunmen who were dressed in military uniforms along Kaduna- Abuja road on Monday night.
DSP Zubairu Abubakar, the Police Public Relations Office (PPRO) of Kaduna Command, said that he was not aware of the incident.
Although New Telegraph Online reports that Saba was flagged down by the kidnapers around 8p.m. and the bureau chairman stopped for them, thinking the abductors were security men.
