This incident follows a warning by Maiduguri-based security expert, Zagazola Makama, on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), who alerted about bandits infiltrating Gusau town to abduct worshippers during midnight prayers.

Abubakar clarified that the bandits targeted Nagoma, who resisted their attack, resulting in his death and the abduction of his wife and neighbor. He emphasized that the mosque was not attacked, contrary to earlier speculations.

“Our rescue team is on top of the situation and is making frantic efforts to ensure the perpetrators are brought to book and the abducted victims are rescued. An investigation is also ongoing,” Abubakar stated.
