Gunmen on Saturday abducted the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Always Petroleum and Energy Service Limited, Alhaji Mohammed Jamiu at his residence located at Idare quarters in Okene LGA of Kogi state.
According to an eye witness who pleaded anonymity, the kidnappers, numbering four, entered the house posing as business associates shortly after Mohammed Jamiu returned from Eid praying ground in Okene town.
He said the abductors forced their victim out of his residence at about noon and whisked him away in his car to an unknown destination.
