Father Raises Alarm As Security Guard Disappears With His Two 6-Year-Old Children In Minna, Niger State

-

 


A private security guard employed by a Minna businessman, popularly known as Alhaji Danjuma, has allegedly abducted his employer’s two six-year-old children, Umar and Anas, and taken them to an unknown location.

The incident reportedly occurred on Sunday, May 31, 2026, in the Brighter Area of Minna when the children were last seen in the company of the security guard, identified as Sani Abdulrahman.

According to the children’s father, Abdulrahman, a Fulani, had informed the family that he was taking the children out to celebrate Sallah in town.

However, the children and the security guard allegedly failed to return, prompting concern and a search by family members to various hospital facilities in Minna metropolis, suspecting they might have been involved in an accident.

The situation later took a more troubling turn when some persons called and reportedly demanded ransom for the release of the children.

Alhaji Danjuma said,

“I later received a phone call that evening from individuals claiming to be in Erena Forest in Shiroro Local Government Area of Niger State with my children”.

The disturbed father appealed to the Niger State Government, security agencies and members of the public to assist in securing the safe return of the children.

Confirming the incident, the Police Public Relations Officer of the Niger State Command, SP Wasiu Abiodun, said the case was referred from a court to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID), Minna, on Monday, June 1, 2026.

“On 1st of June, 2026, a case of suspected kidnapping was referred from court to SCID Minna in respect of a complainant from Brighter Area of Minna, who reported that on 31st of May, 2026 at about 1 PM, his security guard known as Sani Abdulrahman, abducted his two children, Umar and Anas, both six years old, to an unknown location.”

The police spokesperson further said investigations have commenced, while efforts to locate the children and apprehend the suspect are ongoing.
