The Wife of the Commissioner for Lands, Survey and Solid Minerals, Benue State, Mrs Ann Unenge, was yesterday at 7:00pm kidnapped by Unknown gunmen in Makurdi,the Benue State capital.
According to the Media Aide to the commissioner, Jacob Shom, who narrated the incident to The Voice in a telephone conversation, she was kidnapped on her way back from Daudu in Guma Local Government Area where she visited her parents.
According to reports, she was said to be driving a new model Toyota Highlander, which her abductors also took away.
The gunmen reportedly shot sporadically into the air at the Police ‘B’ Division Junction in Makurdi to scare away passersby before driving away with their victim, even as she was shouting.
The media aide who said the
matter has since been reported to the Police Command headquarters in Makurdi said all her phones have been switched off.
The Commissioner, Bernard Unenge, could not be reached for comments as his aide said he was not in the mood to comment on the matter.
Meanwhile, the incident is yet to be confirmed by the Benue Police spokesperson, DSP Sewuese Anene.
