The Kogi State Police Command has confirmed the kidnapping of three relatives of a former Daily Trust editor, Ahmed Ajobe.

The victims included Mr Ajobe’s immediate younger sister, Halimtu-Sadiya Tahir.

They were reportedly kidnapped on Thursday on the deplorable Ankpa-Adoka-Markudi Road, while returning from a market in the nearby community in Awo, Ankpa Local Government Area of the state.

The state Police Public Relations Officer, William Aya, confirmed the incident in Lokoja on Friday.

According to Mr Aya, the Divisional Police Officer in charge of the area had already deployed his men to the area to escue of the victims.

He further said that the Commissioner of Police, Bethrand Onuoha, had also ordered the drafting of the police tactical team to the area to reinforce the team on ground.

He assured that everything possible would be done to ensure the safe release of the victims and also bring the criminals to justice

Although the journalist could not be reached for details on the incident, his family friend, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the assailants demanded N50 million ransom for the release of the victims.

He said that Mr Ajobe lost his mother, Malama Aishetu Tahir, on Sunday, following a protracted illness.

He said that the kidnap took place when the victims went to market to purchase items for the seven-day prayer for the journalist’s late mother.

The family friend said, “Yes, three of Ajobe’s family members were kidnapped at gunpoint at about 3:pm on Thursday. The kidnappers reached out on Friday afternoon demanding N50 million ransom. However, I can’t confirm what the family is offering in the negotiations because I had to leave the community for an emergency in Lokoja. What I can say is that no amount has yet been paid and the victims are still in captivity.’’
