The bandits who abducted a mother and her two children in Bareke, Isanlu community in Yagba West Local Government Area of Kogi State, have demanded N100m ransom.

The gunmen invaded the community at about 2 am on Friday, October 2, abducted the woman and her children while her husband, Tokpe Gody, escaped with bullet wounds from two gunshots sustained.

A member of the Kogi State Vigilante agency, who confirmed the incident to Punch on condition of anonymity, said that while the woman’s husband had been rushed to a hospital within the community, the kidnappers had demanded a ransom of N100m to release the attack victims

The local security source hinted that Gody was in a critical condition at the hospital, and he might be taken to another hospital for proper treatment.

The state Security Adviser, Commander Jerry Omadara, said he was not aware of the fresh attack.

“I will find out, but we are giving the bandits hot pursuit, and we have recorded significant success in the last month. Right now, we have chased them as far as Kwara in our efforts to rid the state of kidnappers, bandits and other criminals,” he said.
