Newsbreak:Terrorists kidnap another teacher, 10-year old son in Yoruba-Kogi

Demand 100m ransom

A teacher and his 10-year old son has been kidnapped in Ogbe, Yoruba part of Kogi State.

Fimihan Memayin and his 10-year old son Dimeji Memayin, were kidnapped at gun point in the morning of Tuesday.

Memayin is a Primary School teacher while his son is in Primary six.

“The terrorists were armed with AK-47. They took father and son. There was no resistance because police were not present in the town while hunters and vigillantes are too little to confront terrorists armed to the teeth,” Mathew Alaga, an indigene of Ogbe the border town between Ekiti and Kogi State told Irohinoodua.

He said the kidnappers have already called, asking for 100m ransom.

Alaga said the kidnappers not only kill their victims even after ransom has been paid but that they also use their victims for ritual.

“We are in a terrible situation. So many people have been kidnapped in this area and they are never found even after payment of ransom. Our greatest fear is that they also kill their victims and sell their body parts,” he said.

Local sources said the kidnapped is currently one of the teachers supervising the on-going West African Examination Council, [WAEC].

Distant witnesse said the victim went to a near forest to fetch wood and planks he wanted to use to build a makeshift shop with his son. The terrorists were said to have laid ambush and pounced on them.

“The kidnappers did not call until Wednesday morning. They asked for 100m million,” a local chief who does not wish to be named told Irohinodua on Wedneaday
