A fresh security incident has been reported in Yagba West Local Government Area of Kogi State following the alleged abduction of three residents of Egbe along the Okoloke Road corridor.

Local sources told Benue Info-pedia that the victims were kidnapped in a bush area near Abewo along Okoloke Road on Sunday afternoon.

The victims were identified by residents as a driver, his motor boy, and a wood operator, all said to be from Egbe.
