Gunmen suspected to be kidnappers have abducted four persons at Sabo community in Tawari Ward in Kogi Local Government Council of Kogi State.
The four Kidnapped victims, whose names are yet to be identified comprised of three male adults and one female adult.
A resident of the area, who preferred anonymity, said the incident happened around 9:00 am while the victims were on their way in a vehicle to harvest yam at the farm.
He said the kidnappers, armed to teeth suddenly appeared from the bush and flagged down the vehicle at gunpoint.
“It was even one of the brothers who was on his way to the neighbouring Tazenyi village that saw the vehicle by the road side with empty sacks and basins inside the vehicle that rushed back home to raise an alarm,” he said.
He said the family had mobilized to the scene to tow the vehicle back to the community, even as he said the family was yet to establish contact with the kidnappers.
When contacted, the spokesman of the Kogi State Police Command, ASP Williams Ayah, said the command was not aware of the incident, saying he would inquire and get back to Daily Trust reporter.
