Gunmen have abducted a primary school teacher, Mrs. Amina Hussain, from her residence in Kauru community, Toto Local Government Area of Nasarawa State, demanding N50 million for her release.

The victim, who teaches at a Local Education Authority (LEA) Primary School in the community, was reportedly kidnapped on Tuesday while her husband was away in Lafia on an official assignment.

A family member, Suwaiba Abdullahi, confirmed the incident, disclosing that the abductors contacted the family after taking the teacher away and demanded N50 million as ransom.

She said the family received the demand following the abduction but did not provide further details about the kidnappers or their whereabouts.

Meanwhile, the Nasarawa State Police Command said it was yet to establish the circumstances surrounding the incident.

The command’s spokesperson, SP Ramhan Nansel, said he had come across reports of the abduction on social media and would make enquiries before issuing further information.
