A man identified as Magaji Adebanjo, an employee of Vine Crest College, has appealed to Nigerians for help after being abducted by gunmen along Kabba Road in Kogi State
Adebanjo, who is from Imo Arikoko in Akoko, Ondo State, was kidnapped while traveling from Iperu to Abuja. His captors are reportedly demanding a ransom of N100 million for his release.
In a video obtained online, Adebanjo is seen tied up, exhausted, and visibly terrified, with a gun aimed at his head as he pleads for assistance. Another man, apparently abducted alongside him, is also seen in the footage with an injured knee, struggling to stand.
Through tears, Adebanjo recounted the ordeal: “My name is Magaji Adebanjo. I’m from Imo Arikoko in Ondo State. I work with Vine Crest College. When I was coming from Iperu, going to Abuja, I was kidnapped along the Kabba Road. They are demanding N100 million.”
He begged for urgent help, highlighting his family’s plight: “Please, help me. I don’t want to die. I have a pregnant wife and a four-year-old son. Please, help me. They want N100 million. I was taken yesterday. Please, help me.”
The kidnapping adds to growing concerns over the increasing incidents of abductions on major highways in Kogi and neighbouring states, where commuters continue to face threats from armed bandits.
