By

*Acting I.G.P, Mr. Solomon Arase


Gunmen on Monday kidnapped a Kogi High Court Judge, Justice Samuel Obayomi, and killed his orderly, Corporal Usman Musa, in an early morning attack.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reported that Obayomi of the Ebogogo High Court in the Adavi Local Government Area of Kogi State was kidnapped while on his way to work.

His driver, Ajayi Kolawole, told newsmen in Lokoja that the incident took place in front of the Executive Guest Villa at Okene GRA in the Okene Local Government Area of the state.

Kolawole said Musa was shot dead on the spot by the kidnappers in an operation that took place between 8.40am and 8.45am.

He described the three gunmen as heavily armed, unmasked and wearing dark glasses.

The driver said the gunmen ordered the judge and his aides to lie face-down.

Kolawole said the kidnappers opened fire on the orderly killing him on the spot.

NAN recalls that the judge had recently survived a ghastly accident and had just resumed work after three months in the hospital.

The Police Area Commander at Okene, Kehinde Kolawole, said the driver had been detained to help in police investigations.

The Chief Judge of the state, Justice Nasir Ajanah, who visited Obayomi’s family, told his wife to let him know as soon as the kidnappers made contact.

Ajanah promised that effort would be made to ensure the release of Obayomi.

After dialing the code, your are still on the right track, don't be afraid; Change your date to 01|01|2000 and change it back to the correct one immediately...
