A third class traditional ruler of Elete town in Kogi state, Chief Aminu Aku has been kidnapped by unidentified gunmen.
The News Agency of Nigeria ( NAN) gathered that Aku was kidnapped by a gang of five masked gunmen at about 8:30 pm on Friday in his town located on the Lokoja-Ajaokuta highway.
The incident came barely 24 hours after the kidnap of two chieftains of the Kwara chapter of the APC on the Lokoja-Okene road.
Aku was said to be returning from a function at Ajaokuta and was just alighting from his car when he was abducted. He was subsequently driven away in a vehicle brought by the abductors.
NAN learnt that the gunmen had already called to demand for a N10 million ransom.
The state Police Commissioner, Yakubu Usman however said that the abduction of the traditional ruler was yet to be confirmed. [myad]
