Unknown gunmen, Saturday night, abducted the mother and sister of Mr. Kassim Mohammed-Kassim, member of Nasarawa State House of Assembly (APC Akwanga South).
Police spokesman in the state, DSP Kennedy Idirisu, who confirmed the abduction yesterday in Lafia, said the gunmen, in their numbers, stormed the residence of the lawmaker at Moroa in Akwanga at about 8p.m. and shot sporadically before whisking the women away.
He said that the police was collaborating with the vigilante group in the area to locate the victims.
“As we speak, our men are already combing the areas in search of the victims and to apprehend the perpetrators,” Idirisu said.
He, however, appealed to members of the public to assist the police with useful information that could lead to the women’s rescue.
Meanwhile, a family source, who preferred anonymity, said the abductors have contacted the family and demanded a ransom of N30 million.
Efforts to get the lawmaker’s reaction proved abortive as he could not be reached on his mobile phone.
