Three daughters of the Managing Director of the Plateau State Water Board, Apollos Samchi, were abducted by unknown gunmen in the early hours of Monday during an attack on his residence in the Rantya area of Jos South Local Government Area.
According to a post shared on X by security analyst Zagazola Makama on Monday, the incident occurred at about 12:53 am, when gunshots were heard around Dumac Suites in Rantya.
