The officer was not in military uniform when he was kidnapped, military sources said.

The development has sent panic through the Nigerian Army Headquarters, which promptly issued a warning to officers to be wary of road trips.

Motorists have become increasingly fearful about using Abuja-Kaduna Highway amidst worsening exploits of kidnappers, whose number and intensity have failed to subside despite several interventions by security forces.

A spokesperson for the Nigerian Army did not immediately return requests seeking comments about Mr. Onifade’s abduction Monday afternoon.
