“Abdullah al-Khalidi was kidnapped while leaving his home in the Mansoura neighborhood of Aden,” the official told AFP on Wednesday, speaking on condition of anonymity.
The police have launched an investigation into the abduction and are actively searching for the Saudi deputy.
“He was taken to an unknown location and we are searching for him,” added the official.
This is the second time Khalidi has been attacked in recent months as also late last year; unknown militiamen stopped the Saudi diplomat whilst driving in Aden.
The seaport city of Aden borders Abyan Province, which has often been the scene of deadly clashes with security forces.
Kidnapping is not uncommon in Yemen. Nearly all those kidnapped have, however, been freed unharmed.
