Unidentified gunmen early Monday stormed Plateau Polytechnic staff quarters at Heipang, Barki Ladi local government area of the state.
Younger sister of the polytechnic’s assistant registrar, Ezekiel Rangs, was kidnapped in the process.
Mr Rangs confirmed the incident to journalists on Monday.
He said the gunmen raided the house at about 12:10 am and took away his sister, Abigail.
“We were sleeping when we heard a big bang on the door. Before we knew what was happening, the gunmen were already inside the house. When we discovered that they were armed, we pleaded for them to spare our lives but they took away my younger sister who just gained admission for National Diploma, Social Development,” he said.
“When they said we should give them a phone through which we can contact them, I offered to give them my own, they refused, and instead demanded my wife’s phone and departed. When the incident happened, some soldiers led by one Col. Tanko came to the house within thirty minutes and we told them what happened.”
In February, the quarters were also attacked and a twelve-year-old son of the institution’s chaplain, Rev. Andrew Dido, was kidnapped.
The boy, Kim Dido, was released within 24 hours after ransom was allegedly paid.
