Gunmen have abducted a corps member and a 300 level student of the University of Jos. The victims were attacked after gunmen broke into a house in Dong community of Jos North Local Government Area of Plateau State. Mr. Solomon Dansura, whose sister-in-law and guest were abducted, confirmed the incident to journalists in Jos on Tuesday, She said the kidnappers broke into his house on Sunday night when family members were about to go to bed. Dansura, who described the incident as worrisome, narrated that three minutes after he went to bed, he heard a strange sound from the window, believing that intruders had entered his house and were trying to break into a room to gain access. He added that realizing there were criminal elements, he fled through the back door to seek help, but upon returning, found that they had abducted the corps member and the student. He said “it is a tragic experience because I have never experienced kidnapping. My sister in-law is a corps member serving in Bauchi and preparing for her wedding. The military and police came to the compound after the perpetrators had succeeded in kidnapping the victims. “The kidnappers called this morning requesting for N50m ransom. They said when they call the next time, I should have the money ready and end the call,” Dansura said.
