Gunmen have kidnapped a traditional ruler, David Wada, who is the District Head of Bagaji Odo, in Omala Local Government Area, Kogi State.
Residents said the monarch was kidnapped on Monday evening while returning from a traditional council meeting held at Abejukolo, headquarters of the Omala Local Government Area.
The paramount ruler of the Local Government traditional council, Boniface Musa, who is the Onu Ife, confirmed the incident to reporters.
He appealed to security agencies to ensure the traditional ruler’s safe rescue.
It was learnt that Wada was abducted at a spot known as Ojuwo Ugweche around 5 p.m on Monday.
The commercial cyclist conveying him on a motorcycle when the gunmen waylaid them reportedly escaped by whiskers.
The spokesman for the state Police Command, Superintendent of Police, Williams Aya, said the command had mobilised operatives to ensure the rescue of the traditional ruler.
The gunmen were yet to contact the family or any member of the traditional council as at press time.
