Gunmen have abducted the Niger State Commissioner for Information and Strategy Mallan Idris Mohammed taken to an unknown destination.
The Commissioner was abducted by heavily armed men suspected to be bandits from his residence at Baban Tunga, Tafa local government area of the state on Sunday night.
The gunmen said to be numbering about 20, stormed the residence of the Commissioner at about 11:00am under a heavily downpour and shot sporadically into the air before abducting their victim in front of his second wife.
