Unidentified gunmen have kidnapped the traditional ruler of Elete town in Kogi State, Chief Aminu Aku.
The News Agency of Nigeria gathered that Aku was kidnapped by a gang of five masked gunmen at about8:30pm on Friday in his town located on the Lokoja-Ajaokuta highway.
The incident came barely 24 hours after the kidnap of two chieftains of the Kwara State chapter of the All Progressives Congress on the Lokoja-Okene Road.
Aku, a third class traditional ruler, was said to be returning from a function in Ajaokuta and was just alighting from his car when he was abducted.
He was subsequently driven away in a vehicle brought by the abductors.
NAN learnt that the gunmen had already called to demand for a N10 million ransom.
The state Commissioner of Police Yakubu Usman, however, said the abduction of the traditional ruler was yet to be confirmed.
