Gunmen Abduct Governor Sule’s Aide
Gunmen have kidnapped Muhammed Egye Osolafia, Senior Special Assistant on Humanitarian Services to Governor Abdullahi Sule of Nasarawa State.
The incident occurred on Saturday night at Tudun Amba in Lafia when the assailants, who stormed the area shooting sporadically, seized him just as he was about to enter his residence.
The incident was confirmed on Sunday by the governor’s Senior Special Adviser on Public Affairs, Mr. Peter Ahemba.
He described the abduction as “sad and unfortunate.”
Kidnapping has been on the rise in Lafia and other parts of the state despite several police operations and arrests of suspects in recent times.
Governor Sule had recently cautioned top government functionaries against using their influence to secure the release of suspected kidnappers in security custody.
Latest reports however say that he has been released.
