THE Police in Delta State and the Joint Task Force, JTF, on the Niger Delta, yesterday, foiled  an attempt to kidnap the father of Senator James Manager, who represents Delta South Senatorial District in the National Assembly, but, he was shot on the leg by the hoodlums.

Delta State police spokesman, Mr. Charles Muka confirmed that a joint team of the police and JTF foiled the attempt in Bomadi area of the state.

A source said the injured father of the lawmaker had been been rushed to the hospital for medical attention.
