A member representing Toungo Constituency in Adamawa State House of Assembly, Adamu Usman, has been kidnapped.
Reports indicate that those who kidnapped him stormed his house at Kofare area of Yola, the state capital, at 11 pm on Friday, forced him into a car and whisked him away at gunpoint.
The reports revealed that the kidnap may be connected with the lingering crisis in the State House of Assembly which had divided the Assembly into two factions with two speakers.
According to the reports, the faction headed by Alhaji Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri is sitting at the Assembly complex while the other faction headed by Honourable Jerry Kumdisi allegedly loyal to governor Bala James Nggilari is sitting at the Government House conference hall.
However, the kidnappers are yet to place a ransom on the abductee or state any reason for the kidnap at the time of sending this report.
The Adamawa Police Command Public Relations Officer, DSP Othman Abubakar, who confirmed the incident said the police are investigating the incident.
