Gunmen suspected to be bandits in the early hours of Friday stormed a family residence in Egbe and abducted a mother and her two children while the husband escaped with bullet wounds from gunshots. AdvertisementIt was learnt that the husband, in an attempt to avoid abduction, was shot twice by the gunmen. The attack, according to a member of Kogi State Vigilante agency, happened in Egbe, headquarters of Yagba West local government of Kogi State. It was gathered that bandits have sustained their invasion of Okun land in Kogi West almost on a daily basis within the last five months, beginning from May when the paramount ruler of Okeloke was abducted. All efforts to get the Kogi State Police Command to speak on the incident proved abortive, as the Command’s Spokesperson, SP William Ovye Aya, did not respond to his phone calls and messages sent to him.
