May 02, (THEWILL) – Gunmen suspected to be kidnappers have abducted Ismaila Konga, a former Chairman of the Nigerian Union of Local Government Employees (NULGE), in Nasarawa State.
Konga was kidnapped on Monday evening, alongside two others on his way from Akwanga town, the headquarters of Akwanga Local Government Area, to his country home, Andaha, where he resides with his family.
A family source told newsmen that the gunmen mounted a roadblock on the Akwanga-Jos federal highway, between Ningo village and Andaha, where they got their victims.
“They mounted roadblock and opened fire on travellers, then our brother ran into them and they whisked him away alongside Mallam Sule Coach, who is working with Primary Health Care Department, one other person and killed a Hilux driver, who also ran into them
“The kidnappers had contacted us (family) around 4am today (Tuesday) and gave our brother a phone to speak with us. He was trying to tell us that they are demanding 2 million naira, but we overheard his abductors in the background saying they will not collect 2 million naira,” he said.
The Spokesperson of the Nasarawa State Police Command, DSP Ranham Nansel, confirmed the incident.
Nansel, however, said, “I don’t have these details, I will revert immediately I get it.”
