By


The Nasarawa State Police Command has confirmed the Kidnap of the mother and sister of Kassim Mohammed-Kassim, a lawmaker representing Akwanga South in the Nasarawa State House of Assembly.

 In a statement issued on Sunday in Lafia, the state capital, the command’s Public Relations Officer, Kennedy Idirisu, confirmed that the two women were abducted on Saturday night.

 Idirisu explained that the gunmen stormed the residence of the lawmaker at Angwan Yara along Moroa in Akwanga Local Government Area at about 8p.m. and shot repeatedly before capturing the two women and whisking them away.

 Collaborative effort
He said the police are collaborating with the vigilante group in the area to locate the victims.

 ”As we speak, our men are already combing the area in search of the victims and to apprehend the perpetrators”, he said.

 He, however, appealed to members of the public to assist the police with useful information that could lead to the rescue of the women.

 Meanwhile, a family source who preferred to remain anonymous, said the abductors had contacted the family and demanded a ransom of 30 million naira.
Efforts to get the lawmaker’s reaction on the abduction were unsuccessful as he could not be reached on his mobile phone.
