It was learnt that Musa was abducted in his house in Zungeru, where he went for a wedding ceremony. He was picked up by the gunmen in the night after the party.

One of the family members narrated that the gunmen entered into the house by breaking down the gate to abduct the Permanent Secretary who was relaxing after the celebration.
