The Kogi state Chairman of Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN), Alhaji Wakili Damina has reportedly been abducted.
The state Secretary of MACBAN, Mr Adamu Abubakar, made this known in Lokoja on Tuesday.
He added that Damina was abducted on April 30 by some armed men dressed in army camouflage.
He said witnesses said that the abductors, numbering about eight, came in a white bus at about 12 noon to “forcefully” take away the Chairman from his house at Chikara village, Kogi Local Government.
Abubakar said that he was informed of the incident about an hour later by the younger brother of Damina who claimed he witnessed the incident.
The Secretary said he immediately called the phone number of the missing Chairman, but it rang out.
The state Commissioner of police, Mr Ede Ayuba, when contacted, said that the police are yet to locate the whereabouts of the Chairman.
The Commissioner said that immediately he was informed of the incident, he called Damina’s phone severally but there was no response.
Ayuba said efforts to get detailed information about the incident from the Divisional Police Officer in charge of the area where the incident happened were unsuccessful as the matter was not officially reported to him.
