Unknown armed men have reportedly kidnapped a serving member of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Saadu Dauda, along the Katsina-Ala-Takum road in Benue State.
According to Daily Post, the incident, which occurred over the weekend, involved a Toyota Carina II with registration number KLD 108 AA travelling from Takum, Taraba State, to Katsina-Ala.
The vehicle was carrying seven passengers when it ran into an armed roadblock mounted by the gunmen at Tsede Village, a boundary community between Katsina-Ala and Takum.
The attackers reportedly robbed all the occupants before whisking away Dauda, whose identity was later confirmed through his NYSC ID card found in his bag left in the vehicle.
Security operatives have begun a coordinated operation to track down the abductors and secure the release of the victim.
However, the state command of the Nigeria Police Force has yet to release any official statement regarding the development of the time of filing this report.
