Nigeria’s insecurity continues on an upward swing, with the kidnapping of a member of the People Democratic Party, PDP, Mr. Ugbo Iyiriaro, along Benin-Abraka road between Ugo and Ugboko community, in Orhionmwon Local Government Area of Edo State.
According to sources; the man was driving to his community ‘Umoghunokhua’ with the plan of returning to Benin before he was abducted.
The kidnappers have since contacted relatives of the victim and demanded N20 million as ransom.
However, the phone calls we put through to the Police Public Relations Officer of the state, SP Bello Kotongs, could not be answered.
