The  Yan’ Kaji Sellers Association in Jos North local government area of the state,  have also alleged the abduction and secret  killing of one of their members, Malam Saidu Inuwa Mohammed at Anguwar Jarawa, Farin Gada Jos.

Chairman of the association, Alhaji Nuhu Abdullahi, said the corpse of the trader was discovered on Sunday after he was attacked by some youths who abducted him when he went to inspect some birds he had intended buying..

Vendors in the state are yet to see one of their members, Rabiu Abdullahi, who was last seen at Anguldi where he went to sell papers.

Chairman Plateau Magazine and Newspaper Distributors Association, (PLAMANDA) Pastor Gabriel Akpesi, said Rabiu is yet to be seen and that the association has reasons to believe that he might have been killed as the jacket he wore to work on that day has been discovered while he is nowhere to be seen.
