Few days after unknown gunmen struck, killing soldiers and setting free about 240 inmates at the prison facility in Kabba, Kogi State, two poultry farmers and another man have been kidnapped in the same community even as the Kogi State Police Command says it has swang into action to rescue the abductees.
Two of the abductees are: one Olorunpomi Damilola, a staff of College of Education Technical Kabba and Pastor Mayowa Otitolaye. Both of them are said to be partnering in the running of a poultry farm while the identity of the third abductee was not yet known as of the time of filing in this report.
It was gathered that the gun wielding men shot sporadically to scare away onlookers as they siezed their victims at the back of Christ Apostolic Church Egbeda-Kabba.
A stakeholder who wished to remain anonymous pointed out the need to engage the services of indigenous security squad to help in securing the community but lamented the dearth of mobilization.
He averted that other neighboring communities in Okunland have taken to this precautionary measure to forestall such insecurities of lives and property, reiterating the need to do same in the entire Kabba land, adding that many men of shady characters have infiltrated sorrounding forest.
One Yomi Obalore opined that the entire Ikowaopa, a suburb of Kabba is stylishly under the control of non indigenes and there is therefore the need for everyone to be circumspect.
But speaking with the Nigerianpost, the Kogi State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Ayah, confirmed the abduction, says collaborating with local vigilantes, efforts is on to rescue the victims unhurt.
