Gunmen have kidnapped two wives of the Nasarawa State Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Aliyu Tijjani.
A report this morning by Daily Trust quoted family sources as saying that the gunmen stormed the commissioner’s residence on Thursday night and fired gunshots sporadically before entering the house.
The report also quoted a source as disclosing that the gunmen did not harm anyone but only picked the two women and took them to an unknown destination.
The state police spokesman, Idrisu Kennedy, said the police had commenced investigation into the matter.
