The kidnappers initially took him away in his Lexus Sport Utility Vehicle, which they later abandoned before taking him away in another car.

According to a  source close to the family said, “He was kidnapped on Wednesday and the abductors have established contact with the family demanding a ransom ofN20 million.

The family has been going through emotional trauma since his abduction. The wife is traumatised and disconsolate.

“We are pleading with his captors to release him unconditionally and allow him to reunite with his family. He is a civil servant and a man of God. We are begging them to release him for the sake of his wife and children. There is no way a salary earner can get N20m; civil servants are being owed.”

The Ekiti Police Command spokesman, Alberto Adeyemi, said he was not aware of the incident but would contact his colleague in Edo state.
