Breaking News: Bride And Groom Kidnapped At Lokoja-okene Highway by xaliujokes(m): 7:27pm On Apr 06, 2020
Gunmen suspected to be kidnappers kidnapped the bride and groom and their ten escorts along the Okene-Lokoja highway in Kogi State early Saturday. The incident occurred at about 3:30 pm in Irepeni village in Adavi local government area of ​​Kogi state.

The victim, Aminu, told Tropics Nigeria today that the kidnappers were armed with heavy weapons as they ambushed the bride and groom who were on their way from Okene to Lokoja after the incident. The couple was married in Okene. Aminu, who said he was part of the team to the wedding, also said he had crossed the water when the gunmen joined them. He added that after the kidnappers got together, the bride and groom tried to get out of the car, but on their way down, the bride, Bilkisu, fell down, while her husband, Ismail, did. The carnage turned to rescue them from the gunmen who were running after them, but he also failed, where the kidnappers and ten other escorts were caught by the kidnappers and thrown into the trenches. As at the tone of writing this report, the Kidnappers had not contacted the families of the hostages for Ransom. But an unnamed source told Tropics.ng that the kidnappers demanded a ransom of 50 million naira in ransom before releasing the kidnappers.

Tropics.ng correspondent today tried to contact Kogi State Police Spokesperson, DSP William Ayah, to confirm the incident, but was unsuccessful. He also sent him a text message but did not respond to the report. Publicity in Kogi remains a priority despite the government’s vows in fighting piracy in the state, where even the governor recently advised them not to leave the Kogi state.

When they tell people live low key life, don't let Nigerians know what you are worth otherwise the next thing is to plot how to take from you and then destroy you

Even with the recent hit and damages Coronavirus has caused in countries like Spain, Italy and USA...It's still safer to be there than Nigeria.
