“They were on their way home from work (West African Ceramics) when the gunmen attacked their Coaster bus yesterday (Friday) night.

“Their bus was ambushed by these gunmen. They were able to kidnap 14 Indians. Two police officers providing security to them were also killed,” a resident of the area was quoted to have said.

Reacting, the Kogi State Government in a statement issued on Saturday by the Commissioner for Information, Kingsley Fanwo, said it is working with security agencies to rescue all those that have been abducted.

“Immediately the unfortunate report was brought to the attention of the State Government, our administration has spread our security net in working with the conventional security agencies and local vigilante groups to ensure the abducted children are rescued alive and the cowards who abducted them brought to book.

“In Kogi State, the life of everyone matters.

“The governor and the government of Kogi State understand that the number one responsibility of the Government is the protection of the lives and property of the citizens. The Kogi State Government will never shirk such responsibility,” the commissioner said.

Also, the Kogi State Police Command spokesperson, William Ovye Aya, in a statement said the command is putting measures in place to make the state safe.
