The kidnappers reportedly fired gunshots in the air to keep off
residents of the area in the course of moving the victim away to an
unknown destination.
Spokesperson for the Plateau State Police Command, Ubah Ogaba, said
security agents had launched a manhunt for the victim’s abductors to
free him.
Pa Dariye had in 2015 also been kidnapped at the same location but released a few days later.
