Two siblings who were selling bread, and their driver were taken by hoodlums believed to be kidnappers as they traveled from Ogbomu to Egbe in the Yagba West LGA of Kogi State.
According to information obtained, the event took place over the weekend when the victims’ car was flagged down between Ogah and Egbe.
According to Yinka Adebayo, the siblings were orphans who baked and sold bread in Egbe communities.
He said, “Samuel and his brother went to Ogbomu, a nearby village, where they have their bakery to restock their bread last weekend when it happened.
“The hoodlums stopped their car as they were returning to Egbe, taking Samuel and his brother, along with the driver, into the bush. The criminals are demanding a N2 million ransom.
SP William Aya, the state police’s spokesperson, has not yet replied to a text message sent to him regarding the event.
