Politician and chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Bauchi state, Alhaji Uba Boris has been abducted by unknown gunmen.

The incident is reported to have occurred at 8 pm on Wednesday, July 7. The report said he was approached by the men at the CBN roundabout close to the AA Rano filling station along the Federal Lowcost road in the state capital.

According to SaharaReporters, the APC was trailed by two power bikes until they got to the Nassarawa gate where they stopped his car after firing rounds of gunshots to scare people away.

The gunmen, it was learned, dragged the politician down from his car, bundled him into a waiting vehicle, and drove off while firing shots into the air.

Calls put across to the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) in the state, Ahmed Mohammed Wakil were not answered nor returned.
