But according to the report gathered by Legit.ng, Abdullahi Biffo was reportedly kidnapped in which the abductors are said to have made a demand of N15 million ransom.

A close source to the club also revealed that the kidnappers have warned the management of Katsina United not to speak with the press on the present situation.
''They won't tell you the truth because they know what they are doing to make sure that Abdullahi Biffo is freed from the hands of his abductors.
''Why can't the management of the club provide his number in Germany for people to call him if truly he is in that country? or there is no means of communication in Germany? I won't say more than this,'' the source explained.
Abdullahi Biffo is one of the respected coaches in Nigeria considering how he helped Giwa FC and Niger Tornadoes gain promotion to the Professional Football League.
And after leaving Abia Warriors, Biffo joined Katsina United last season and steered the club to the semifinal of the 2018 Aiteo Cup.
Earlier, Legit.ng had reported how former Super Eagles number one goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama denied reports that he is on the verge of quitting football after almost two years of playing his last game.
April 2017 was when the ex Enyimba captain played last for French club Lille before he was asked to leave the Ligue 1 side in August 2018.
There have been reports since he was released by Lille that Vincent Enyeama would not return to football, but the 36-year-old has stated clearly that he has received offers from Israel and Turkey.
