According to local sources, the assailants stormed Bagudu town on Friday evening, firing sporadically to create panic. The deputy speaker was reportedly seized shortly after observing his Friday prayers and leaving the mosque for his residence.
Witnesses said the attackers operated swiftly before fleeing the scene with their victim.
Confirming the incident, the Chief Press Secretary to the Kebbi State Government, Ahmed Idris, said that Bagudu was indeed abducted, adding that security agencies had launched efforts to rescue him.
