“On 06/01/2023 at about 2320hrs while the Speaker arrived at his residence at Federal Low-cost in Jos, three unidentified gunmen operating in an Ash colored CR-V Jeep trailed him to his residence and attempted to enter his house to kidnap him but their mission was made impossible by the intrepid police officers on guard duty, and the timely response of the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) Rantya Division, SP Ayuba Iliya and his men who joined forces with the men on guard duty and repelled the evil act.
“However, the Command is making a concerted effort to track down the fleeing suspects and get them arrested.

“He urges residents of the State to go about their lawful businesses as the Police are already doing a lot to ensure the safety of all.” He said
