Gunmen Abduct Nasarawa Governor’s Aide in Lafia

Gunmen suspected to be kidnappers have abducted Dr. Muhammed Osolafia, Senior Special Assistant on Humanitarian Services to Governor Abdullahi Sule of Nasarawa State.

The incident happened on Saturday night at Tudun Amba in Lafia when the assailants, who stormed the area shooting sporadically, seized him just as he was about to enter his residence.

Confirming the abduction on Sunday, the Senior Special Adviser to the Governor on Public Affairs, Mr. Peter Ahemba, described the development as “sad and unfortunate.”

Kidnapping has remained on the rise in Lafia and other parts of the state, despite several police operations and arrests of suspects in recent months.
