By DANJUMA JOSEPH, Lafia –
Unknown gunmen have kidnapped a former member of the House of Representatives from Nasarawa State, Dr. Joseph Haruna Kigbu, popularly known as (Likitan Talakawa).
Kigbu, was kidnapped on Sunday, alongside his wife in Akwanga Local Government Area of Nasarawa State, on his way from Jos to Abuja.
A family source, who confirmed the abduction of the couple, said the incident occurred on Sunday, December 1st, 2024 while they were returning to Abuja from neighboring Plateau State.
The gunmen have since contacted the family demanding for multi-million naira ransom for their safe release.
It was gathered that a police escort identified as Abdul Hassan, attached to the former Rep member was killed by the yet-to-be identified gunmen.
Efforts to reach the Police for comment over the unfortunate incident proved abortive at press time.
