BREAKING: Again, unknown gunmen kidnap business man in Otukpo

Less than 30 days after one Mrs Omaye Adole, a Pastor’s wife was killed at Perfect Avenue, Otukpo, a group of armed kidnappers has abducted an Otukpo based business man identified as Mr. Nopede from the same street.

A source told IDOMA VOICE that the victim was intercepted as he was making a turn into his compound on Saturday night.

“A group of three armed men that are not very tall with face masked came and started shooting sporadically into the air. The man’s wife who came to open the gate for him fainted in the process.

“They whisked the man away on foot and nobody could chase them because of their gun immediately. By the time people came, they have gone far already,” the source said.

As the time of filing this report, the kidnappers are demanding for N5 million ransom.
