Few days after unknown gunmen struck, killing soldiers and setting free about 240 inmates at the prison facility in Kabba, Kogi State, two poultry farmers, and one other man have been kidnapped in the same community.
The two of the abductees are, one Olorunpomi Damilola, a staff of the College of Education Technical Kabba, and Pastor Mayowa Otitolaye.
The Police Public Relations Officer, William Aya who confirmed to AIT in Lokoja, said security agencies and local Vigilante groups are working to rescue the victims who were said to be partnering in the running of a poultry farm, while the identity of the third abductee was not yet known as of the time of filing in this report.
It was gathered that the gun-wielding men shot sporadically to scare away onlookers as they seized their victims behind the Christ Apostolic Church Egbeda-Kabba.
A stakeholder who wished to remain anonymous pointed out the need to engage the services of the indigenous security squad to help in securing the community but lamented the dearth of mobilization.

He noted that other neighboring communities in Okunland have taken precautionary measures to forestall such insecurities of lives and property, reiterating the need to do the same in the entire Kabba land, adding that many men of shady characters have infiltrated the surrounding forest.
One Yomi Obalore said the entire Ikowaopa, a suburb of Kabba is stylishly under the control of non-indigenes and there is, therefore, the need for everyone to be circumspect.
