Gunmen have kidnapped Shedrack Obibeni, Oba of Idofin, and his wife in Yagba east LGA of Kogi state.
According to NAN, Obibeni and his wife were reportedly kidnapped along Makutu-Idofin road in the state at about 5pm on Monday.
Asiru said the LGA takes security seriously and that such an incident had not been recorded in the area in almost two years.“I as the council chairman and the people of Yagba east are in great shock over the kidnap of our respected Oba and his wife this evening,” he said. “This incident was well-planned by the kidnappers because from what I learnt, the Oba and his wife only moved out to see something and in less than 10 minutes that incident happened.“We smell a rat over this sad incident and we are not resting until we get to the criminal elements who did this dastardly act and rescue our traditional ruler and his wife.”
