Suspected kidnappers, for the umpteenth time, struck at another community in the Akoko Edo Local Government Area of Edo State as five persons were kidnapped at the Makeke Health Centre in Umakeke community.
Among the latest victims were the nurse attached to the health facility, Mrs. Gladys Okomayin, a female secondary school student, Miss Tope Oriloye, and a couple, Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Ilesanmi, who were said to have rushed their son to the health centre for treatment.
It was gathered that the kidnappers later abandoned the burse because she could not walk fast to keep their pace in the bush.
The National Coordinator, Movement for the Advancement of Akoko Edo People (MAAP), Mr. Omowumi Bode Ekundayo, who confirmed the incident, said Makeke hunters and vigilantes were mobilised and combed the forest but to no avail.
Omowumi said the kidnappers called to demand N100m ransom for the release of Miss Oriloye and Mr. Ilesanmi.
He said, “We have written, warned, passed timely information to all security agencies and the tiers of government in Edo State earlier.
“Or is it not yet obvious that the worsening scourge will snowball into intractable catastrophies in future? Akoko Edo is surrounded… Is it not clear that Benue and Kwara States are fast descending to Edo State, their open gateway being the vast wilderness of Akoko Edo?”
Edo Police spokesman, Eno Ikoedem, confirmed the abductions and said efforts were on to release the victims.
