This is the second kidnapping incidence from the state within a week, as Justice Samuel Obayomi of the State High Court was kidnapped last week Monday after his orderly was killed by the robbery gang who placed a ransom of N150m on the judge.
Kogi State Police Public Relations Officer, Mr Adebayo Collins, confirmed the kidnap, saying that the command was doing everything possible to rescue the commissioner unhurt.
Collins said, “It is true the commissioner was kidnapped but the command is on top of the matter.”
