A royal father in Kogi State, the Oba of Apaa Bunu in Kabba/Bunu Local Government Area of Kogi State, HRH Oba Adebisi Obademi was today kidnapped by unknown armed men at Akiso Aba Ebira, near Agbadu Bunu.
Eyewitnesses told Vanguard that the incident happened Wednesday morning. The kidnappers numbering about six waylaid the official vehicle of the royal father and ordered the driver to drive the vehicle towards Lokoja.
It was learnt that the royal father was going to attend an official event in Kabba.
A witness who craved anonymity narrated how it all happened to our reporters: “We just heard gunshots around Akiso and we saw the royal father dragged on the tarred road before they bundled him into his vehicle and also carried a sack owned by the royal father. We don’t know the content of the bag.
“We couldn’t identify them because they were masked and probably trailed the royal father to that point. The sporadic gunshots scared everyone in Agbadu as we scampered to safety. So we couldn’t rescue the Oba”.
When Vanguard visited the Divisional Police Headquarters in Kabba, the DPO was not on hand to speak to our reporters. But a police officer who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not permitted to speak on the issue confirmed the incident and that the police is doing everything possible to secure the release of the traditional ruler.
At Apaa Bunu, residents were seen discussing the issue in groups as the community is gripped by the kidnap of its royal father.

What's the way forward for these increasing kidnap cases?? Person go born pikin, train am, e come grow up come dey kidnap him papa.

Kidnap again

The ransom being paid is turning kidnapping into a lucrative business.

The law enforcement agencies need to map out an approach before things get out of hand just like the insurgency in the north.
