Police spokesman in Kogi State William Ayah confirmed the abduction yesterday.

In a statement, he said the commissioner of police Edward Ebuka had deployed operatives of various police anti-kidnapping units in collaboration with vigilantes and hunters to trail the kidnappers in order to rescue the children.

The three children who are aged three, five and ten years were on Wednesday evening around eight o’clock kidnapped at their residence, Kaduna Estate, Ajaokuta Steel Township complex.

Eyewitness reports revealed that the kidnappers who were fully armed with guns shot sporadically to scare residents away before they abducted the children.
