The District Head of Vwang, Jos South local government area of Plateau State, Da Gyang Balak has been kidnapped.
Da Balak is the second traditional ruler to be kidnapped in the State in less than a month.
Recall that the Sum Pyem, HRH Charles Dakat was kidnapped during the Christmas period in 2021 but has since regained his freedom.
Although details of the kidnap of Da Balak are sketchy it was gathered that he was kidnapped on Sunday night around the Kuru community which hosts the National Institute For Policy and Strategic Studies, NIPSS.
He was said to be returning to Vom where his palace is located before he was intercepted on the way.
