A member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Bauchi State, Uba Boris, has been kidnapped by unknown gunmen.

Naija News reports that the popular politician was abducted at the CBN roundabout, close to the AA Rano filling station along the Federal Lowcost road at about 8 pm on Wednesday.

According to multiple reports, the gunmen who were riding on two power bikes fired gunshots in the air to scare away people around the area.

An eyewitness said that the politician was immediately bundled from his car into a waiting car after which they drove away still firing shots into the air.

He added that the kidnappers drove along Nassarawa street but made a u-turn after sighting a Police patrol van ahead and then sped along the Federal Lowcost road.

As at the time of filing this report, the Bauchi Police Command has yet to issue an official statement concerning Boris’ disappearance.
