The Speaker of the Plateau State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Yakubu Sanda, on Friday, escaped a kidnap attempt at his residence at the Federal Low-Cost Housing Estate in Jos South local government area of the state.
The state police spokesman, DSP Alfred Alabo, in a statement on Saturday, said that the police were able to foil the attempted kidnapping of the Speaker.
Alabo said the kidnap attempt was carried out by three unidentifield gunmen operating in a grey-coloured CR-V Jeep who trailed the Speaker to his residence and attempted to enter his house to kidnap him.
