Police say gunmen have kidnapped a traditional ruler in Daura
who is distantly related to Nigeria's President Muhammadu Buhari.
Musa Umar was seized on Wednesday evening from in front of his
house by abductors who fired shots into the air, Katsina state Police Spokesman
Gambo Isa told the BBC's Nasidi Adamu Yahya.
Local police say one officer, who was injured in a confrontation
with the kidnappers, is receiving treatment at a local hospital.
Mr Umar is a distant relative by marriage of President Buhari,
as well as the father-in-law of one of his senior aides.
Daura is the president's home town.
