A son of the monarch has been kidnapped along with the wives.

Usman Abdullahi, the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), confirmed the report on Saturday in Jalingo, the state capital, saying the incident occurred on Friday in Ibi.
According to him, some suspects have been arrested in connection with the “Friday night’s abduction in Ibi local government.”
He stated that the arrested suspects are currently providing useful information to the police, which will lead to the arrest of other suspects.

According to our state correspondent, the unknown gunmen stormed the monarch’s residence in the Serkin Kudu community of the council while he was out of the house.
The attack comes less than a month after the two wives and six children of the monarch of Mutum-Biyu in the state’s Gassol local government council were killed by their kidnappers in Taraba.
