Gunmen abduct couple in Nasarawa
Gunmen suspected to be kidnappers have abducted Mallam Yusuf Agbo, popularly known as Nobaga Giza, along with his first wife in Nasarawa State.
The incident occurred on Friday night at their residence in Giza, Keana Local Government Area.
A Facebook user, Dantala Kassim, confirmed the abduction and called on the public for prayers, support, and any credible information that could help security agencies secure the swift and safe release of the victims.
“Members of the public are strongly encouraged to remain vigilant and promptly report suspicious movements or helpful information to the nearest security formation. We call on all relevant authorities to intensify efforts toward securing their release and ensuring the safety of residents across the area,” he wrote.
A community source who declined to be named said panic had spread through Giza LGA following the attack.
He added that many residents were leaving the area, while others had resorted to prayers after repeated abductions and killings.
“We have heard nothing. People are living in fear. Many are relocating. We have resolved to take the challenge to God in prayers because all attempts to stop these attacks have failed,” the resident said.
The incident followed weeks of reported raids on Keana communities, despite assurances from the state government that new security measures were in place.
