Tension and anxiety have gripped communities in Kogi State following the abduction of three members of a commercial motorcycle riders’ union by suspected bandits along the Ageva–Magongo road on Wednesday.
The victims were identified as Mr Jonathan Stephen Monday, Chairman of the union’s Ogori Branch, alongside Mr Ashemadaun Eben and Mr Mosigbodi Jethro Adoga.
Eyewitnesses disclosed that the victims were part of a delegation of union members who had travelled to Lokoja to participate in a solidarity rally held in support of the re-election bids of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Governor Ahmed Usman Ododo ahead of the 2027 elections.
