Former ‘NFA’ Sec-Gen Sani Toro Kidnapped
Sani Toro, a former Secretary-General of the then Nigeria Football Association (NFA), has been abducted by gunmen. The NFA has since been changed to the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF).
Toro, and a former Golden Eaglets assistant coach, Garba Iliya, were reportedly abducted last night, along the Abuja-Jos Road. They are said to be returning from Bauchi, where they attended the wedding ceremony, in Abuja on Friday, of the son of a former NFF president, Alhaji Aminu Maigari.
Daily Trust quoted a source who said, “It is true they were abducted close to Ryom in Plateau State when they were returning to Bauchi from Abuja.
“They had attened the wedding Fatiha of the son of Alhaji Aminu Maigari at the National Mosque in Abuja on Friday.
“I have been in touch with their family members. Those who kidnapped them are yet to contact the familes.
“We are all praying and hoping in earnest that Allah will intervene in the unfortunate situation and they would be released unharmed,” he said.
