Again, Gunmen Invades Ajaokuta kidnap three Children, Demands N100M Ransom In Kogi

From Noah Ocheni, Lokoja

Barely seven days that bandits killed three Police Officers and five Vigilantes in Ajaokuta Local Government Area, another group of Kidnappers invaded the town and kidnapped three Children to an unknown destination.

It was gathered that the incident happened at about 8PM in Kaduna Estate Ajaokuta Steel township complex on Wednesday 3rd/August/2022.

According to eyewitness, the gunmen who were fully armed shot sporadically to the air to scarce security agencies and neighbours before kidnapping the three Children.

A family source who wouldn’t like their names mentioned identified the parent of the Children who are within the ages of five, seven and ten as Mr. Kadiri who hail from Edo State.

The source said the gunmen on Thursday morning contacted the family of their victims demanding for N100Million before they will release the abducted Children.

Narrating how the incident happened, the source said ” The gunmen came in their numbers fully armed to the house of Mr. Kadiri our brother that sells television, radio and other electronic device in the steel township.

“They shot countless time to scarce People from coming close. When they could not see their target victim, (Kadiri) they decided to pick the three Children from the house. As we speak, their whereabout is unknown”.

” Here in Ajaokuta, we can no longer sleep with our two eyes close. Armed robbery and kidnapping everywhere. Recently, we all saw how innocent Policemen and Vigilantes where killed. Things are already falling apart. No where is safe again”.

Effort to speak with the Police Public Relations Officer, (PPRO)in Kogi State, William Ovye Aya failed.

Recalled that, as a result of the insecurity, Governor Yahaya Bello shut down all brothels that harbour criminals, ban facemasks in public places, suspended the traditional ruler and queried the council chairman of Ajaokuta Local Government area.
