Abdullahi Sule, Nasarawa State Governor
Some gunmen in the late hours of Saturday invaded the country home of the Special Adviser to the Governor of Nasarawa State on Local Government, Chieftaincy Affairs and Community Development, Mr John Waje Mamman, in Dari, Konkona Local Government Area of the state and abducted him.
A source who confirmed the abduction to our correspondent on condition of anonymity said it took place at about 9 p.m. on Saturday when Mamman alongside his associates in the community were said to be relaxing in his compound as a result of unfriendly weather.
According to him, the gunmen surrounded his house and started shooting sporadically which made Mamman and his friends scamper for safety.
The source, however, said luck ran out against one of the suspected kidnappers as he was nabbed by some members of the community before Maman was whisked away.
As of Sunday, the SA was still being held hostage by his abductors in an unknown location.

Our correspondent reports that the abductors were yet to contact the family nor have they made a ransom demand.
Efforts to speak with the authority of the state Police command as at the time of filing this report proved abortive.
