Two Kogi judiciary workers were on Thursday abducted by gunmen believed to be kidnappers and taken to an unknown destination.
The men identified as Timothy Salihu of upper area court, Lokoja and Aliyu Okeme, a retired inspector of area court were abducted at gun-point.
The victims, who were said to be on their way to Idah, were kidnapped on the Idah-Lokoja road in the eastern flank of the state.
A witness told NAN that Okeme, who went into private practice as a legal practitioner after his retirement, and Salihu were together at the time of the incident.
When contacted, Williams Aya, police public relations officer, confirmed the incident, but said the police were working round the clock to track down the abductors.
NAN quoted a source as saying the abductors initially demanded N50 million ransom, but reduced it to N1 million after pleadings by the two families.
