The abduction comes barely a few days after the kidnapping of an inspector of police, Emmanuel Yaro, attached to the Kurmi Division.
The abduction of six persons by suspected kidnappers in Taraba state, has been confirmed by the Taraba State Police Command.
The abduction comes barely a few days after the kidnapping of an inspector of police, Emmanuel Yaro, attached to the Kurmi Division.
Confirming the report, the Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, Abdullahi Usman, said they were abducted in the Pupule area of Yorro local government council.
He said the incident happened at about 2:30 a.m. on Thursday, stating that the command is leaving no stone unturned to secure the release of the victims.
He said the anti-kidnapping and the strike force unit of the command, as well as vigilantes, are collaborating with hunters to track down the kidnappers.
He called on persons with useful information to reach out to the command or other sister security agencies.
Some persons from the community who spoke with DAILY POST said the kidnappers stormed the community when they were asleep.
They pleaded with the state government and the security agencies to monitor the local government council, which they said is gradually being taken over by bandits and kidnappers.
Citing the recent abduction of the son of a former chairman of the council, and the gruesome killing of a 15-year-old by rapists, they appealed for improved surveillance of the area.
They pleaded with the operatives to work round the clock to help rescue the victims who they described as the breadwinners of their families.
