Earlier, the State Command Public Relations Officer, Catherine Anene, explained that the incident happened at about 6:20pm at a forest along Otukpo/Ado road.
In a statement issued on Monday, Anene said police officers who were on patrol sighted a vehicle parked by a forest area along Adankari village, Otukpo-Ado road.
“Shortly after the vehicle was recovered, information was received that the Benue State Commissioner for Housing and Urban Development, Ekpe Ogbu, who had travelled to Utonkon for a burial, was traveling back with three other persons through the same route and was no longer reachable. Immediately, police teams were deployed in search of these victims.
“The Commissioner of Police, Benue State Command, CP Wale Abass, who visited the scene for on-the-spot assessment, had identified a new route linking the forest to the highway and emplaced adequate security on the road to forestall further occurrences.
“While interacting with Adankari community members, the CP requested them to volunteer information to the police to assist them in the ongoing operation.
“The CP also visited the victim’s family members and assured them of his commitment to rescue the commissioner and others held hostage,” the statement read in part.JAMB Result
