Gunmen have kidnapped nine travelers in Oshokoshoko, along the Kabba/Obajana/Lokoja Road in Kogi State.
The incident reportedly occurred last Saturday between 4:00 pm and 5:00 pm. Reports held that the victims included two students, three women, and four men. They had departed from the Jehovah’s Witness Kingdom Hall in Kabba.
One Elupo Eliazer, a person with a disability, revealed that his wife was among the victims.
The kidnappers initially demanded N30 million, but after negotiations, they reduced it to N2.6 million. Eliazer’s wife was in a vehicle ahead of his, and by the time his vehicle reached the location, all occupants had already been led into the bush.
He said:
“My wife and I were travelling to attend our church convention scheduled for Lokoja, but I decided to follow a different vehicle as the Toyota could not contain all of us, else I would have been in the car with her.”
