The proprietor of Dynamite Force Football Club based in Iyamho, Etsako West Local Government Area of Edo State, Bernard Jomah has been kidnapped by some unkwon gunmen.
It was reliably gathered that he was allegedly kidnapped along the Okenne-Lokoja Road in Kogi State between 7pm and 8pm on Friday on his way from Abuja.
Family sources who confirmed the incident said his abductors ordered him to call his family to inform them that he had been kidnapped and thereafter demanded a ransom of N20m.
The Media Officer of the club Shehu Momodu in a statement said, “We call on the Security outfit and Kogi State Government to please come to the aid of our Chairman to ensure his quick release from his abductors.
“We urge our fans to channel their thoughts and prayers on the Chairman for his quick release.
We believed at the end we shall say glory be to God,” he said.
Meanwhile all effort to speak with the Police Public Relation officer, Kogi State Police Command, William Aya, proved abortive as he could not be reached as calls placed to him were not answered.
