Details on how the Commissioner entered the kidnappers net is still very sketchy as at the time of filing this report, but he is said to have been kidnaped by suspected armed bandits at about 1:am today from his home at Baban-tunga village in Tafa Local Government Area of the state.

Sani Idris who is said to have visited his community for the weekend before the suspected armed bandits came calling was last seen at the commissioning of some metropolitan roads rehabilitated and reconstructed by the Governor Sani Bello led administration.

Security agencies are already trailing the bandits with a view to apprehending them, Mary Noel-Berje, the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor of Niger state confirmed.
