The Sierra-Leonean
Ambassador to Nigeria, Major Gen. Nelson Williams (rtd), was on Friday morning
kidnapped by unknown gunmen along the Kaduna-Abuja expressway.
The Nation gathered that
the ambassador was abducted on his way to Jaji, Kaduna, where he will attend
the graduation ceremony of Senior Course at the Armed Forces Command and Staff
College (AFCSC).
Vice President Yemi
Osinbajo attended the graduation ceremony.
The graduation ceremony
for Command and Staff College’s Senior Course is an annual event, marking the
completion of a 12- month training programme for senior military officers drawn
from Nigerian Armed Forces and other ECOWAS countries, including Sierra-Leone.
Although, the Kaduna
police public relations officer did not respond to several calls to his mobile
line, unconfirmed report said the envoy was abducted before getting to
Kaduna.
