Gunmen on Sunday morning abducted Taraba State Chairman of Nigerian Labor Congress (NLC), Peter Jediel, at his residence at Sunkani in Ardo Kola, Taraba State, reports say.

The abduction comes exactly two weeks after the local government chairman of Ardo Kola was abducted and later killed by gunmen.

A younger brother to the victim, Boniface Stephen, who spoke to our correspondent, said that the armed men stormed Jediel’s residence at about 1 am Sunday morning and took the union leader away after shooting randomly.

Stephen said that contact had not been established yet and called on the people to pray for the safe release of his brother.

Spokesperson of Taraba State Police Command ASP Reform Leha could not confirm the incident but promised to call back.
