The cleric and others were conveying the corpse of the Chief Imam of Ayegunle Gbede, Sheikh Musa Olorunkemi, from Lokoja on Sunday when they ran into the kidnappers.

One of the occupants of the car, who escaped abduction, told LEADERSHIP that the incident occurred just at Oshokoshoko, along the ever-busy Lokoja-Obajana-Kabba Road.

He explained that their car was moving ahead of the vehicle, which was conveying the corpse of late Sheikh Musa, who died on Sunday morning after a brief illness.

A source told LEADERSHIP that the victims’ telephone lines had been switched off since their abduction, but added that the kidnappers made contact with the family on Monday morning demanding for N10million ransom for their release.

“It is true, but the security operatives were on their trail in a bid to rescue them and arrest the kidnappers,” the State security chief stated.
