“The man has military security operatives attached to him, but on that day he did not drive out with them.

“Joint efforts between the police and the military have been emplaced to rescue him,’’ a highly reliable police source told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Sunday.

The source said police had yet to ascertain whether it was a case of abduction or kidnapping.

“It is kidnapping when ransom is demanded but at the moment, nobody has called to ask for ransom, so it is still regarded as a case of abduction.

“Our worry is why the man should drive out in a caterpillar without his security attaches,’’ the source rued.
