In another incident, gunmen have reportedly abducted a member of the Nasarawa State House of Assembly, Mr. Ismail Danbaba, his driver and two other persons.

It was gathered that Danbaba, who represents Nasarawa Central constituency in the State Assembly, and three others, were abducted on Saturday evening while travelling to Jos, Plateau State capital for a workshop.

A member of the state’s parliament, Mr. Mohammed Omadefu, who confirmed the incident in Lafia, said the incident happened along Akwanga/Jos road, close to a forest in Sanga Local Government Area of Kaduna State.

Omadefu told our correspondent that the abductors had contacted the state’s House of Assembly but were yet to make any demand.

When contacted, the Police Public Relation Officer, Nasarawa State Command, ASP Rahman Nansel, said since the incident didn’t happen in Nasarawa State, he would not comment on that.

“Please contact the Police Public Relation Officer in Kaduna State. Nasarawa State Command is not aware of any such incident,” he said.
