Tuesday, September 23, 2025 - Unknown gunmen have abducted lawmaker representing Pankshin South Constituency in the Plateau State House of Assembly, Hon. Denty Laven Jacob.
Jacob was abducted on Monday by unknown gunmen from his home
at Dong area, a community in the Jos North Local Government Area of the state.
The area has now become a hotbed of kidnapers and other
criminal elements.
According to a family source,Jacob was abducted when he came home from an outing with some friends.
The family member said the kidnappers must have trailed the
lawmaker right from the venue of his outing with his friends.
“As we speak, the abductors of Hon. Denty Laven Jacob have
not reached out to the family to make any ransom demand and we do not know
anything about his condition at the moment.
“We suspect he was trailed from where he had gone to hang
out with his friends because immediately the gateman opened the gate for him to
drive in, the gunmen emerged from their vehicle and whisked him away.
“Dong is becoming quite dangerous these days. Just last
week, a popular social media food vendor and her brother who is a corps member
were kidnapped in the same Dong and were only released after their family
reportedly paid ransom.
“This shocking incident adds to the growing wave of
insecurity that has plagued Plateau State in recent months,” the family member
said.
