Family and friends of a former Director-General of the National Youth Service Corps, Brigadier General Maharazu Tsiga (retd,), has demanded action from the Federal Government to rescue him from kidnappers.

PUNCH Online reported that Tsiga was abducted on February 5, 2025, in his hometown of Tsiga, the Bakori Local Government Area of Katsina State, along with at least nine others.

The bandits killed one person during the attack.

The family and friends declared that despite the passage of time, the government has yet to take decisive action to rescue him.

Speaking on behalf of the family in Kaduna on Friday, Brig. General Ismaila Abdullahi (retd.) told journalists that the former NYSC DG is still with the kidnappers’ 30 days after abduction, contrary to news reports that he had been released.

The retired general also knocked the Arewa Consultative Forum on it’s silence over the abduction of Tsiga, an active member of the forum.

“We’re not asking for much. We just want the government to do its job and ensure that General Tsiga is rescued safely,” he said.
