A former chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), in Wushishi LGA, Alhaji Sule Muhammad, has been kidnapped by gunmen.
The gunmen stormed the ancient town of Zungeru area of Niger State in the wee hours of Thursday and shot sporadically before whisking the victim away.
Some residents who spoke with DailyTrust said the former chairman was kidnapped at his residence around 12 am on Thursday while his daughter and son were injured by the gunmen.
“When they (gunmen) came around on Thursday, they started sporadic shooting and it lasted for about an hour before they took away the former APC Chairman, Wushishi LGA, Alhaji Sule.
“They shot his daughter in the leg and one of his sons also sustained cutlass cuts. As I speak with you, they have not established contact with the family,” said a resident, who preferred not to be named.
The Niger State Police Command’s spokesperson, DSP Wasiu Abiodun could not be reached by phone. He did not, however, respond to a text message sent to him.
