A gang of suspected terrorists kidnapped a Chinese national, who worked as a road engineer, and killed an officer of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) in Obangede community, Kogi State, North Central Nigeria, on Thursday morning.


Obangede lies within the Okehi Local Government Area of the state.


A source from the community shared this information on Thursday. They mentioned that the slain NSCDC officer was part of the security detail assigned to the abducted Chinese engineer.


The names of the kidnapped individual and the deceased officer couldn't be confirmed by SaharaReporters at the time of reporting.


In a similar occurrence on February 3, about 14 passengers traveling with God Is Good (GIG) Motors and ABC Transport were abducted in Kogi while en route to Abuja. The incident took place in Inyele Eteke, Olamaboro LGA.


The passengers, who were reportedly traveling from the southeast, were eventually released a few days later.


Reports indicated that the gunmen intercepted the vehicles and took the occupants captive.


The kidnappers demanded a ransom of N15 million from each passenger for their release.
