Nasarawa PDP Guber Aspirant ‘kidnapped’ After Mob Attack by Anasko(m): 5:13pm On Oct 27, 2014
Chris Mamman, the immediate past
National President of Eggon Cultural
Association and a gubernatorial
candidate of the Peoples Democratic
Party, PDP, has been kidnapped by
unknown gunmen men, his campaign
director said Monday.
Mr. Mamman was seized Sunday
night few hours after angry youths
attacked him and burnt his car at
what supposed to be a peace
meeting between him and other
governorship candidates, including
the immediate past Minister for
Information, Labaran Maku.
Mr. Mamman is among 13 other
aspirants vying for the governorship
of Nasarawa State in the 2015
general elections on the platform of
PDP.
Mr. Mamman was picked in his
house in Lafia around 8.30 p.m. after
a mob attacked him and burnt his car
at the palace of Aren Eggon, Bala
Angbazo, in Nasarawa Eggon, the
Director General of Chris Mamman’s
campaign organization, Nawani
Aboki, told PREMIUM TIMES.
He claimed the attack on the
candidate and his subsequent
abduction were the handiwork of his
political opponents.
“Our candidate was in Nasarawa
Eggon as part of Effort by the Eggon
traditional council to ensure that they
are able to speak with one voice and
have one candidate but as our
candidate was approaching the place
mob came out and accosted him and
manhandled him but was later
rescued,” he said.
“All other candidates of Eggon
extraction where there; Maku, and
Ewuga but we don’t know who might
have masterminded the attack among
them.
“Even after he was rescued, we were
told later in the day that some
unknown people came and took him
away and we don’t know who the
person is and we are yet to make
contact with him 12 hours after,” he
said.
Mr. Aboki said his team will
eventually inform the police if at the
end of the day they are unable to find
him.
However, the state Police Public
Relations Officer, PPRO, Umar
Numan, said he was yet to be briefed
over the matter. He said
investigations will commence when
such report was forwarded.
On Sunday, Mr. Mamman was in the
palace on the invitation of the
paramount ruler alongside Solomon
Ewuga, a senator, and Mr. Maku, to
discuss how to pick a consensus
candidate among them to represent
the Eggon interest in the 2015
general elections.
They all escaped unhurt as angry
youth stormed the palace of the
paramount ruler of the Eggon people,
on Sunday evening.
The traditional ruler was hosting a
reconciliatory meeting between three
Eggon sons seeking to be Nasarawa
governor under the Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP which resulted
in the youth, setting ablaze a Toyota
Corolla belonging to Chris Mamman.

Labaran Maku and his thugs wont give that state a 'breathing space'; he would stop at nothing to kick his opponents off stage.
