Some unknown gunmen have abducted a traditional ruler in Kogi, a family source said in Lokoja on Sunday.
The monarch, whose name was given as Alhaji Isah Achuja, the Ohi of
Ajaokuta, was returning from Lokoja, the state capital, on Saturday when
his vehicle was intercepted on the Lokoja-Ajaokuta road at gunpoint and
the ruler taken to an unknown destination.
A member of the royal family, who did not want his name in print,
told newsmen that an aide to the traditional ruler and his driver
narrowly escaped being hit by the bullets of the abductors.
He said the abductors had already contacted the family and demanded a N20 million ransom.
Contacted by the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), the State Police
Command’s spokesman, ASP Williams Aya, said the incident had not been
reported to the command.
He, however, promised that police would swing into action in a bid to
to rescue the monarch as soon as the details of the abduction were
available.
