Gunmen have reportedly abducted a former chairman of the All Progressives congress(APC), Sule Muhammad, in Wushishi Local Government Area of Niger State.
It was gathered that the incident occurred on Thursday when the hoodlums invaded the ancient town of Zungeru in the State.
The gunmen were said to have shot sporadically before whisking the victim away.
Some residents in the town told newsmen that the former chairman was kidnapped at his residence around 12 am on Thursday while his daughter and son were injured by them.
A resident who spoke on condition of anonymity said the gunmen shot the daughter of the former APC Chairman, while his sons sustained cutlass cuts.
According to him, the kidnappers are yet to contact the family of the APC chieftain to discuss the terms of his release.
“When they (gunmen) came around on Thursday, they started sporadic shooting and it lasted for about an hour before they took away the former APC Chairman, Wushishi LGA, Alhaji Sule.
“They shot his daughter in the leg and one of his sons also sustained cutlass cuts. As I speak with you, they have not established contact with the family”, the resident narrated.
