Gunmen yesterday ab\u00adducted Oba Adebisi Oba\u00addemi, the traditional ruler of Apaa-Bunu community in Kabba-Bunu Local Government Area of Kogi State.<\/p>\n

An eyewitness told Dai\u00adly Sun that the traditional ruler was abducted at about 7.30 a.m. yesterday on his way to Odo \u2013 Ape, a sub\u00adurb community close to his domain.<\/p>\n

The account said the gunmen, numbering about five and suspected to be Fulani herdsmen might have whisked the tradition\u00adal ruler on a motorbike to an unknown destination.<\/p>\n

While condemning the dastardly act, a prominent political leader in the area and a Senior Special As\u00adsistant to Governor Idris Wada, Duro Meseko, said the spate of kidnapping in the area was getting alarm\u00ading and called on law en\u00adforcement agents to be pro active in their activities.<\/p>\n

Meseko, who also called on the police authorities to establish a permanent po\u00adlice station in the area also decried the activities of Fulani herdsmen, who he alleged were frequently fo\u00admenting trouble in the area.<\/p>\n

The governor\u2019s aide also called on President Muhammadu Buhari to quickly address the issue of kidnapping in the country, saying law abiding citizens were now living in fear.<\/p>\n

A source close to the Commissioner of Police, Emmanuel Ojukwu, con\u00adfirmed the incident but blamed the people in the area for allowing kidnap\u00adping to thrive in the area.<\/p>\n

The source said when the police made attempts in the previous kidnap incidents to launch an attack on the hide out of the kidnappers in the area, the same peo\u00adple allegedly pleaded that they would rather pay the ransom to the kidnappers than exposing the victims to any form of hurt, add\u00ading that it makes the police helpless.<\/p>\n

The source, however, quoted the CP to have vowed to flush out crimi\u00adnals in the area even as he urged residents to report any suspicious movement in the area, saying the po\u00adlice would not tolerate any incident of break down of law and order.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, as the time of filing this report, no ran\u00adsom had been demanded by the abductors.<\/p>\n
