Unknown gunmen have kidnapped the Permanent Secretary in the Taraba State Ministry of Water Resources identified as Mrs. Susana Jonathan.
According to some reports, Mrs. Susana Jonathan was abducted in her house around the ATC area of Jalingo at about 2:17 am yesterday, May 5th.
Meanwhile, this tragic news is coming barely five days after the Deputy Registrar of the Taraba State University Jalingo identified as Mr. Sanusi Sa’ad, was kidnapped in his house in the university’s quarters, a few meters away from the house of the abducted Permanent Secretary.
Residents who live around the area have stated that the gunmen who picked the Permanent Secretary invaded the house and shot sporadically in the air before abducting her and moving her to an unknown destination.
The Taraba State Police Public Relations Officer identified as DSP David Misal who confirmed the development to newsmen around the area stated that they were yet to get official reports from the family regarding the incident.
DSP David Misal said:
“From the intelligence report we have received, the woman is nowhere to be found, but we are yet to receive any official report regarding the incident. We want to call on the public not to be afraid of reporting any security threat promptly to security agencies to enable us to take proactive measures.”

Meanwhile, the Taraba State Police Command had, on Wednesday, dismissed the report that Jalingo was the home by kidnappers, forcing residents of the city to desert the streets as early as 7:30 pm every day due to fear of kidnappers.
Kidnapping in Taraba, especially Jalingo, the capital city, is slowly becoming a daily occurrence and residents of the area are calling on the government to increase security operatives in the state.
