According to the person, “Pastor Nuhu Bakwa lost his father on Tuesday at Farin Kasa, Mangu Halle. He left Abuja where he stays in the village to start the preparation for the burial. Yesterday(Wednesday) he was on his way to Jos from Farin Kasa. When he got to Mararaba Jema’a with his wife, children and Pastor friend, his vehicle was stopped and the two Pastors were kidnapped while they left the wife and children.
