Armed criminals abducted Muhammed Egye Osolafia during Saturday evening hours at his home in Tudun Amba, Lafia. Osolafia serves as Senior Special Assistant on Humanitarian Services under Nasarawa State Governor Abdullahi Sule. The attackers fired weapons into the air before seizing their intended victim from his residence. Peter Ahemba, who holds the position of Senior Special Adviser on Public Affairs, verified the incident through information received from another government colleague. Residents fled when gunshots echoed through the neighborhood as criminals executed their operation.
This crime follows a similar pattern from two months earlier when kidnappers seized Barrister Yusuf Musa. Musa worked as Permanent Secretary within the Ministry of Information and Culture before his abduction from Ungwan Nungu. Both incidents occurred within Lafia boundaries, raising security concerns among government officials. Police spokesman SP Ramhan Nansel remained unavailable for official statements regarding the latest kidnapping. State authorities face mounting pressure to address the growing threat against public servants.
