The king’s palace is excluded. He built his house far from where the other villagers live, which is why it was not difficult for him to be kidnapped without any resistance from his subjects.
Onyxnews Nigeria gathered that the kidnapping of the king had created panic in the community, the villagers have been vigilant from the moment of the incident until dawn.
State Police spokesperson Micheal Abattam confirmed the kidnapping of the monarch when contacted by our correspondent.
Abattam said the command had taken action with the intention of saving the traditional leader unharmed.
