Gunmen have abducted an employee of an insurance company from the ECWA Staff Quarters in Jos North Local Government Area of Plateau State.

Security sources told Zagazola Makama that the incident occurred at about 9:30 p.m. on Sunday when unidentified armed men stormed the residential area and whisked the victim away to an unknown destination.

Following the report, troops of Sector 1 of Operation ENDURING PEACE (OPEP) were immediately deployed to the scene. On arrival, the troops confirmed the abduction and launched a search-and-rescue operation across the general area in an effort to locate the victim and apprehend the kidnappers.

However, no contact was made with the fleeing suspects during the initial operation. Security forces have since intensified efforts to track down the kidnappers and secure the safe rescue of the victim, while investigations into the incident are ongoing.
