The Chief Press Secretary to the Kebbi State Government, Ahmed Idris, confirmed the incident, noting that security agencies had been informed and were working tirelessly to ensure the lawmaker’s safe release.
As of the time of this report, details about the operation remain sketchy, and attempts to reach the Kebbi State Police Command for additional information were unsuccessful.
The abduction adds to growing concerns over insecurity in parts of northern Nigeria, where kidnapping for ransom has continued to rise despite increased security operations.
