Some unkwon gunmen men on Tuesday morning struck in Eteh-Okofi community in Kogi Local Government Area of Kogi State, kidnapped three sisters and demanded for the sum of N10 million as ransome from their parent if the girls must regain freedom.
It was reliably gathered by Kogiflame reporter that a member of the victims’ family, who preferred anonymity, explained how the victims were abducted.
He said the gunmen went straight into the bedroom where the three sisters were sleeping, woke them up and marched them into the bush.
“You know, the three of them were sleeping in one room… it was a strange sound that one of the brothers heard and decided to open the door to find out what was happening. They started shooting into the air and by then, they already held the sisters,” he said.
He said the family has been able to establish contact with the kidnappers, who have demanded N100 million in ransom.
“Actually, a contact was established this afternoon, just at about 30 minutes ago… they were demanding for N100 million ransom, but negotiation is still ongoing,” he said.
The Chairman of Kogi local government Council, Hon. Isah Abdulkarim while confirming the incident said he was yet to get details about the kidnap incident.
Meanwhile, the Kogi State Police Command Public Relation Officer, ASP Williams Ayah was contacted on his mobile line, but he neither answered calls nor replied a text message sent to his phone over the development.
