Seven passengers on board Benue State-owned transport vehicle known as Benue Links have been kidnapped.
They were abducted one week after six other passengers travelling to Lagos on board Benue Links were kidnapped in Ochadamu in Kogi.
Their captors are said to have opened talks with families of their victims while demanding N5 million each on a pastor and his son.
Narrating the latest incident, wife of the abducted pastor, Mrs Hannah Orhena, told newsmen that her husband and son alongside five others were taken into captivity on Tuesday about 3pm around Kabba area in Kogi State.
“My husband and son including five others boarded Benue Links going to Lagos but were abducted between Kabba and Ahiere on Tuesday at about 3pm.
“The abductors called me Thursday night between 10pm and 11pm and demanded N5m but I negotiated for N500,000 they refused and asked me to get someone who could speak Hausa. My husband and son spoke to me.
“They (abductors) told me that they came from Zamfara and have a boss in Abuja. I only negotiated for my family as it’s everybody to himself.
“My husband pastors at Jesus Prophetical and Apostolic Church aka Jesus Family located at North Bank in Makurdi,” the woman added.
But the General Manager of Benue Links, Mrs Monica Ugela, told journalists that she was not aware of the incident.
