Intelligence gathered that unknown gunmen have kidnapped Mohammed Adembe, a traditional ruler, the Adogu of Eganyi, in Ajaokuta LGA of Kogi State.
Sources say the traditional ruler was abducted on Tuesday while returning to his community from Okene, in Kogi State.
Confirming the incident, the Kogi State Police PRO, DSP William Aya, said that Adembe was kidnapped at about 5:20 pm on the Okene -Eganyi Road.
According to the PRO, the abductors took advantage of the bad spots on the road to kidnap the traditional ruler.
“His car slowed down at one of the potholes on the road; the gunmen emerged from a nearby bush and started shooting sporadically into the air, thereby forcing him to a stop.
“Other occupants of the vehicle were spared as the gunmen marched only the traditional ruler into the bush,’’ he said.
