Gunmen Abduct Plateau Lawmaker

A member of the Plateau State House of Assembly, Hon. Laven Denty, who represents Pankshin South Constituency, has reportedly been abducted by gunmen.

According to local sources, the incident occurred at his residence in the Dong area of Jos North Local Government Area.

This latest abduction adds to the growing concerns over insecurity in Plateau State. Just last week, the same Dong community was attacked by armed men who kidnapped a serving member of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) and a University of Jos student.

The assailants were said to have broken into the home of one Solomon Dansura around 10 p.m., abducting the two young visitors staying with the family.

As of the time of filing this report, neither the state government nor the Plateau State Police Command has issued an official statement or confirmation regarding the abduction of Hon. Denty.
