Gov. Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto State on Friday said he was shocked and devastated over the abduction of a state lawmaker, Sani Yakubu by unknown persons.
Yakubu, member representing Gudu Constituency in the State Assembly, was said to have been kidnapped along with one other person.
The lawmaker was kidnapped early hours of Friday along Kware-Gudu road.
NAN gathered that the kidnapped lawmaker was travelling to his home town Gudu from Sokoto metropolis when he was kidnapped.
A statement signed by Tambuwal’s Director General on Media and Public Affairs, Malam Abubakar Shekara, charged security agencies to rescue the captives and arrest the perpetrators.
”The act carried out last night on the lawmaker by unknown persons is reprehensible and another sad indication of the dire security situation faced by our state and country,” Tambuwal said.
