A traditional ruler, Pa David Obadofin of Aghara in Kabba-Bunu local government area in Kogi state, has been reportedly kidnapped by gunmen.
The gunmen, on Monday, April 10, 2023, also reportedly abducted one other person along with the traditional ruler and killed a woman identified as Madam Toyin Onare.
Reports said that Chief Obadofin, a major cashew farmer, and one of his boys were seated in front of his house, apparently relaxing, when gunshots jolted them.
The gunshots, as reported, threw the village into confusion as people scampered into safety.
Toyin, a widow who had gone to lend a hand on the farm, was said to have been hit by a bullet.
The gunmen whisked the traditional ruler and Temidayo, another farm hand into the bush, abandoning the bleeding poor widow.
One person, however escaped, to tell the story.
Toyin was reportedly rushed to the hospital in Kabba, the headquarters of the LGA, about 35 minutes’ drive away.
But, unfortunately, she was confirmed dead on arrival. (Adapted from 247Ureports)
