A security source told our correspondent that she could not confirm if the operative was abducted with his four-year-old son as speculated but said traces of blood were found in his vehicle.
“I’m not sure he was the target of the attack.
“I think he was at the wrong place at the wrong time.
“I cannot confirm the rumour that his family has been contacted for ransom but all we know is that his vehicle and other cars were shot at and there was blood in his car,” she said.
Meanwhile, the Kaduna State Police Command through its Public Relations Officer, ASP Mohammed Jalige, when contacted said it had no report of the incident.
