Unidentified gunmen have abducted the wife and daughter of the Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Patigi Local Government Area of Kwara State, Muhammad Swasun.

The attack reportedly took place on Sunday night.

The criminals were said to have jumped over the fence into the chairman’s compound, shooting sporadically to instill fear among residents.

They broke into one of the rooms where they found the wife and daughter and whisked them away at gunpoint.

Confirming the incident to journalists on Monday morning, a member of the state executive council of the party, who does not want his name mentioned, said, “It’s true that our chairman’s wife and daughter in Patigi were kidnapped last night.”
