Gunmen have kidnapped the Organising Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kaduna State, Kawu Yakassai.
Yakassai is said to have been abducted on Friday night in Soba LGA of the state.
No ransom has been demanded for the release of the APC chieftain yet.
Confirming the development on Saturday, Mohammed Shehu, chief press secretary (CPS) to Uba Sani, governor of Kaduna, said his principal has directed security agencies to fish out the kidnappers and rescue Yakassai.
The governor restated his administration’s commitment to the safety of lives and property of all residents in the state, adding that part of the steps taken to achieve security in Kaduna was to employ 7,000 vigilantes to complement the efforts of conventional security agencies.
Meanwhile, the Kaduna State Governor, Uba Sani, has condemned the abduction of the APC official.
