He said the abductors forced their victim out of his residence at about noon and whisked him away in his own car to an unknown destination.

 

The eyewitness noted that their brief discussion in the room did not betray any emotion that anything went wrong in the meeting.

 

The police public relations officer of Kogi State Police Command, Williams Ayah who confirmed the incident, assured that there are plans to rescue the victim.

 

LEADERSHIP reports that Jamiu was also abducted in 2019 at one of his fuel stations in Okene but was rescued by military officials after a few days in captivity. The military lost one of their officers while one of the kidnappers was also killed during the rescue operation.
