Heavily armed bandits have abducted the wife and daughter of Plateau Commissioner for Environment Usman Bamaiyi.
He is also one of the aspirants for a seat in the House of Representatives on the platform of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
ANN gathered the bandits broke into the Gindiri residence of the Commissioner and took away his wife and daughter.
Plateau police spokesman ASP Gabriel Ogaba, who confirmed the incident to The Nation in Jos, said: “We are aware of the incident, the police has swung into action on the trial of the kidnappers. Investigation is on going to save them.
This is coming barely one week after two pastors were abducted in the area.
A source within the community, Sani Musa, who spoke to our correspondent, said the Gindiri general area is under siege by bandits.
The Plateau attack comes less than a week after the son of a serving commissioner was gunned down by bandits.
