Some gunmen in Kano have shot dead a police sergeant before abducting Michael Cremza, a German engineeer, working with Dantata and Sawoe Company in the state.
The tragic incident occurred along Sabon Titi Madobi Road, Kano, around 7:45am on Monday.
The armed men numbering five were said to have opened fire on a vehicle conveying Michael Cremza on his way to a construction site.
Musa Majia, spokesman of the police in the state, said the command has deployed a “powerful team of operatives and detectives” to cordon the axis.
