“They jumped over the wall and broke my door but before they could enter my room, I was able to hide somewhere.
“When they searched the house and could not see me, they abducted my pregnant wife, Ramatu,” he said.
The NULGE Chairman said his wife was due to be delivered of the baby at any point.
She could give birth anytime from now because her expected delivery date is in this week”.
He, however, stated that the bandits were yet to reach out to him.
The spokesperson of the state Police Command, SP Mohammed Shehu, could not be reached for comment at the time of filing this report.
