Premium Times reports that the lawmaker’s stepmother gave birth about 11 days ago, family and friends said.

According to reports, the incident happened around 1 p.m.

One witness who spoke with Premium Times said the gunmen on arriving at the area, “went straight to senator Ishaku Abbo’s family house and abducted the senator’s nursing stepmother who delivered about 11 days ago.”

“As they made their way with the victim, Abbo’s uncle came out of his room and on sighting the gunmen, raised alarm.
