Unknown gunmen have abducted Mr. Enock Maku, the Senior Special Assistant on Information and Protocol to the Chief Judge of Nasarawa State.
The incident occurred late Wednesday night in the Agyaragu area of Lafia Local Government Area, causing panic among residents.
Confirming the incident, the state’s Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Ramhan Nansel, said security operatives responded promptly and engaged the attackers, successfully rescuing two other individuals. However, Maku remains in captivity.
“The command has launched a full-scale investigation and manhunt to secure the safe release of Mr. Maku,” Nansel stated, urging the public to remain calm and cooperate with law enforcement authorities.
The abduction has heightened concerns over rising insecurity in the region and renewed calls for better protection of public officials and enhanced community surveillance.
