TARABA: Unknown gunmen abduct lawmaker

A lawmaker representing Takum I Constituency in Taraba State has been abducted by three men on a motorcycle who took him to their hideout.

The kidnap of the lawmaker Hosea Ibi was confirmed by Mr. Dave Akinremi, the state Commissioner of Police who revealed that the kidnappers have not yet established contact with the family of the victim.

The CP said, “I have mobilised my men and they are combing bushes to close in on the kidnappers. The kidnappers have not yet established contact with anybody, but we have our intelligence network. We will surely rescue the lawmaker.”
