The abductors of six Independent National Electoral Commission officials who took part in the Kogi State governorship and state House of Assembly elections have asked for N50million ransom for their release. Addressing a press conference on Monday on behalf of the families of the kidnapped victims in Lokoja, Babalola Peter, an Assistant Presiding Officer II in the March 18 Kogi House of Assembly election, said his sister was among those still held captive, PUNCH reports.

The victims were returning from Kupa North and South in Kogi State's Lokoja Local Government Area when they were attacked by armed hoodlums.

The abductors of six Independent National Electoral Commission officials who took part in the Kogi State governorship and state House of Assembly elections have asked for N50million ransom for their release.Addressing a press conference on Monday on behalf of the families of the kidnapped victims in Lokoja, Babalola Peter, an Assistant Presiding Officer II in the March 18 Kogi House of Assembly election, said his sister was among those still held captive, PUNCH reports.

“The incident happened between 1am and 2am. Those people that were kidnapped were directly from our bus. We told the security agency including INEC that we are still looking for six people including my sister. They said we should not worry that we will find them. Up till now, nothing has been done. I was shocked when I read in some newspapers that the kidnapped victims have been rescued. Nothing of such. They contacted us recently, demanding for N50million.

“The kidnappers keep calling us with different numbers. You cannot call them, but they can only call you. They even told us to send them recharge card which we did just because we don’t want them to hurt my sister and every other victim in their custody.” However, he urged the government and security agencies to work together to free the abducted victims.Attempts to reach the state Police Public Relations Officer in Kogi State, SP William Aya, proved futile as of the time of filing this report, as he did not pick up calls or respond to text messages sent to his phone lines.
