Gunmen kidnap Nasarawa deputy gov’s driver

Nasarawa Dep-Gov’s Driver Kidnapped in Lafia 

 

Gunmen have abducted Daniel Ogoshi, an official driver of Nasarawa Deputy Governor, Dr Emmanuel Akabe,

Ogoshi was reportedly seized from the residence of his friend at Ombi 2, College of Agric, Kwandere road, Lafia, leaving his phone and car behind.

A family friend, who confirmed the incident, said he received a call around 9pm on Tuesday that Ogoshi had been taken away by kidnappers.

The family friend immediately alerted the police who rushed to the scene but the kidnappers had fled with the victim.

The media officer to the Deputy Governor, Emmanuel Eyima, confirmed the incident, saying he was informed about the situation but did not have adequate information on what had transpired.

The police public relations officer of the Nasarawa Police command, DSP Ramhan Nansel, also confirmed the incident and said that the police were on top of the matter.

He, however, stated that he would not comment further on the issue until proper verification had been done.
