A former Chairman of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) in Plateau state, Kapdaba Gobum, was abducted by suspected kidnappers.
He was allegedly kidnapped on Tuesday night.
This happened after he left the Press Centre, headed for his house in the Bukuru area of Jos South.
Former General Manager of the Plateau Publishing and Printing Company (PPPC), Jonathan Ishaku, and the immediate past chairman of NUJ, Paul Jatau, have confirmed the incident.
Ishaku mentioned, “But early this morning (Thursday), the kidnappers called his wife and demanded N35 million.”
Jatau expressed surprise at this development and wondered why journalists should be victims of kidnapping.
The former NUJ chairman recently retired as a senior editor with the Nigerian Standard, published by the PPPC.
