A member of the Taraba State House of Assembly representing Nguroje state constituency, Bashir Mohammed, was yesterday kidnapped by gunmen, while a senior official of the Aba South council, Uzoma Nwolu, was also kidnapped in Aba, Abia State.
Mohammed is the minority leader of Taraba Assembly and the House Committee Chairman on Information.
A resident of his area in Jalingo, the state capital, who preferred anonymity, said the gunmen stormed the lawmaker’s residence behind Dr Jalo Eid prayer ground and shot sporadically before whisking him away around 1.30 am.
