Some unknown gunmen in the late hours of Saturday invaded the country home of the Special Adviser to the Governor of Nasarawa State on Local Government, Chieftaincy Affairs and Community Development Mr. John Waje Mamman, in Dari, Konkona Local Government Area of the state and abducted him.
A source who confirmed the abduction to our correspondent on condition of anonymity said it took place at about 9 p.m. on Saturday when Mamman alongside his associates in the community were said to be relaxing in his compound as a result of unfriendly weather.
According to him, the kidnappers surrounded his house and started shooting sporadically which made Mamman and his friends scampered for safety.
The source, however, said luck ran out against one of the suspected kidnappers as he was napped by some members of the community before Maman was whisked away.

Our correspondent reports that the abductors were yet to contact the family nor have they made a ransom demand.
