Kasai lamented the prevalence of abductions for ransom in various communities of the LGA and appealed for government intervention.

He said, “They abducted the man, his wife, and two children that night without other residents knowing. It was the victim’s mother who went to the house and discovered what had happened because he lived on the outskirts of the town.”

However, the State Police Command is yet to make any official statement on the incident.
