BEVERLY HILLS, October 04, (THEWILL) – The Police in Kaduna State on Tuesday confirmed the abduction of the immediate past Minister of Environment, Mrs Laurentia Mallam and her husband, Mr Pius.
The Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, in the state, ASP Aliyu Usman, disclosed that the couple were kidnapped on Monday evening along the Bwari/Jere axis of the Kaduna-Abuja highway.
He stated that the abductors took away the former minister and her husband, but spared their driver unharmed.

While reports indicated that the abductors had reached out to the minister’s family demanding for ransom, he stated that the Command was unaware of any demand by the abductors.
“All what we are doing is to see that the victims are freed from captivity and returned to their home unhurt,” said the PPRO.
