With the Federal Government of Nigeria watching helplessly as law and order break down completely, and terrorists getting emboldened, life is no longer guaranteed in the country both for the rich and the poor to say the least.
As the nation grapples with the Abuja – Kaduna train attack, terrorists at the weekend in the early hours broke into the Gindiri residence of the Plateau State Commissioner of Environment, Mr. Usman Bamaiyi and abducted his wife and daughter. The commissioner is also one of the aspirants contesting for the Mangu-Bokkos Federal Constituency seat in the House of Representatives on the platform of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
This is coming barely one week after a similar incident occurred in the same Gindiri community of Mangu Local Government Area of where an elderly woman and her daughter were abducted along with two pastors. A source in the community, Mr. Sani Musa, said the Gindiri general area is under siege as terrorists have continued to terrorise citizens with no sign of relief in sight.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, Gabriel Ubah, who confirmed the abduction, said men of the command are already on the trail of the abductors to ensure safe rescue and release of the victims.
