Gunmen on Tuesday 2nd November 2022 kidnapped Ayuba Mangdihis a retired police officer in Plateau State.
Mangdihis was reportedly abducted at his residence in the Panyam community, in the Mangu Local Government Area of the state.
A resident, Bulus Shedrack, who confirmed the incident to our correspondent on Wednesday 3rd November, said it happened around 11 pm.
Shedrack said, “He was sleeping when the kidnappers came knocking and asked him to open the door. When he realized they were kidnappers, he pleaded with them, but they forced his door open and took him away after releasing some gunshots. Since then, we have not seen the retired police officer and the kidnappers have yet to contact the family for ransom.”
The spokesman for the Plateau State Police Command, Alabo Alfred, could not be reached for comments as his phones were switched off.
It’s worthy of note that about two weeks ago, Mr. Gashon Leks also from Daika was kidnapped but later released after a ransom was paid.
