Less than 48 hours after the State Security Service (SSS)  smashed a kidnap syndicate in Benin, a United States of America based Nigerian medical doctor,  Kenneth Oyarebu, has been abducted.
The kidnap  occurred weekend, between Iyirekhu and Ughuedu, at South-Ibie, in Estasko-west Local Government Area of Edo State.Oyarebu's kidnap is coming on the heels of the kidnap of Ekpoma branch chairman of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Mr. Nath Inegbedidon, along with his three children, who were later rescued by the SSS, while acting on a tip-off.
Edo State Police Command Public Relations Officer, ASPPeter Ogboi, said he was yet to be briefed on the matter by the Police Area Commander, Auchi.
The abductors are yet to contact Oyarebu's relations for ransom demand.
Similarly, an attempt by a vulcanizer in Auchi to allegedly kidnap his apprentice was foiled by the apprentice who had to jump out of the vehicle when he noticed that he was being taken to an unknown destination.
