Kenneth Akabuo kidnapped in Sapele

Popular businessman, Kenneth Akabuo has been kidnapped.

His abduction came barely four days after a pregnant lawyer, Nkiru Agbasu was shot dead along Sapele- Warri road in a foiled kidnap attempt.

Vanguard reports that the businessman, Kenneth Akabuo was kidnapped at his business premises around Itsekiri area of Sapele, Delta State, by unidentified gunmen on Wednesday night, saying the kidnappers must have trailed him to his office “because he just came in when they came out with guns”

“The police came just when they were leaving and they were given a hot chase by men of the Nigeria police and the vigilante”the source who craved anonymity said.

Probably as a result of his kidnap, traders dealing in building materials in the town were said to have closed shops.

It was gathered that sometime last year gunmen had also attempted to kill him but he had miraculously escaped.
