The Taraba State Police Command and the Association of Local Governments of Nigeria(ALGON) in Taraba State have refuted reports of an attempted kidnap of Gassol Local Government Area Chairman, Alhaji Abubakar Sadiq.
ALGON, in a statement signed by its Chairman, Alhaji Aminu Jauro Hassan, described the claim by Alhaji Sadiq that there was an attempt to kidnap him at his residence in Jalingo on Wednesday, 10th July, 2025 as false and misleading.
In the same vein, the State Police Command, in a statement issue by the acting Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) James Lashen Saminu, stated that Alhaji Sadiq’s claim fell short of the threshold for a criminal offence such as attempted kidnapping. The Gassol chairman had made a distress call to the GRA Police Division at about 3.15a.m on Wednesday, 10th July, claiming that kidnappers were in his house to abduct him.
