An eye witness at the village, who spoke to ViewPointNigeria’s correspondent on the phone, described the situation as pretty scary and chaotic. He said, the old man who was in his 80s was man-handled out of his residence by gun wielding men, into a waiting van and whisked away into the night.

He said, the suspected kidnappers on arrival had fired random gun shots into the air to scare residents, before locating and abducting the old man.
When the police spokesperson in Jos (Abuh Emmanuel) was contacted to confirm the incident, he said they were yet to receive news about any such happenings and that he was already making contact with the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of the area to confirm.

Chief Joshua Dariye was a former Governor of Plateau State from 1999 – 2002 and is currently the Senator representing Plateau Central at the House of Assembly. He recently decamped from the LP party back into PDP and is posed to vie for the Senatorial seat again, having won the PDP nomination.
