Abducted is Emmanuel Omanji, the traditional ruler of the Dari community in Nasarawa State’s Kokona Local Government Area.
On Wednesday night at his residence, Omanji was whisked away. Before he was taken, the gunmen occasionally shot in the neighborhood.
Ramhan Nansel, the public relations officer for the Nasarawa State Police Command, confirmed the kidnapping to Channel Television.
Nansel noted that Shetima Jauro Mohammed, the commissioner of police in Nasarawa, has mobilized the command’s kidnapping unit, the military, and vigilantes to launch a search and rescue operation to save the victim and make the perpetrators accountable.
According to him, the commissioner is looking for reliable data to help the operation cooperate with the Nigeria Police Force.

In the meantime, state police have opened an investigation into the death of five children who were found lifeless in a “abandoned” and “unserviceable” vehicle in the state’s Obi Local Government Area.
Nansel explained that a resident of the Agyaragu neighborhood where the incident took place reported finding the children’s lifeless bodies to them.
The children, who range in age from six to ten, were discovered “unresponsive” in a resident’s compound.
Additionally, the police stated that the children had to be immediately taken to Aro Hospital in Agyaragu, where a doctor found all five children dead due to a rumored suffocation.
Due to severe heat burns on the bodies of the deceased, the statement claimed that their parents were requested to bury their remains after the remains were discovered.
However, the police claimed that the Police Commissioner had ordered a thorough investigation to find out what had happened.
