Three clerics have been reportedly kidnapped along the Ochadamu-Okele-Ejule Road in the Ofu Local Government Area of the state while going to minister on a three-day crusade.

The gunmen have already demanded an 80 million Naira ransom.

One of the kidnapped clerics has been identified as Pastor Sunday Emmanuel Abbah, from Olamaboro Local Government Area of the state, but resides in Lokoja, the state capital.

A family source of one of the abducted clerics has confirmed that the kidnappers had demanded a ransom of N80 million, which the family cannot afford, as their brother is a full-time evangelist.

Meanwhile, the Kogi State Police Public Relations Officer, William Aya, who has confirmed the abduction of the clerics, said that the state police command had deployed officers to rescue the victims unhurt.
