Kunar's Deputy Governor gone missing from Peshawar
Deputy Governor Muhammad Nabi had come to Peshawar for medical treatment, claims Afghan embassy
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Verifying the news after contact with the Pakistani ambassador in Afghan embassy, the spokesperson for Foreign Office presented the Afghan embassy’s narrative saying that Kunar’s Deputy Governor Muhammad Nabi had come to Peshawar for medical treatment but has since gone missing without any contact.
“The Afghan embassy also requested the Foreign Office to gather and share information regarding the missing governor,” the Spokesperson said while adding that the relevant institutions have been informed regarding the incident and have been instructed to recover the missing governor.
Although, Some sources hold that Kunar s Deputy Governor has been abducted. Pakistan Security Forces however, did not confirm the incident.
Afghan Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Consul General Moeen Akhtar said that Muhammad Nabi had come to Peshawar on Thursday and scheduled an appointment with a doctor in Dabggari the next day. “There, he was abducted by unidentified gunmen and we still haven’t heard anything about him,” he added.
Muhammad Nabi’s abduction was confirmed by officers at the Shah Qabool police station. The officers said they were trying to locate the governor and rescue him.
Last year, former Afghan governor Sayed Fazlullah Wahidi was recovered in Mardan, around two weeks after he was kidnapped in the capital city Islamabad.
