Kogi: 2 expatriates missing in Ajaokuta attack – Police

1 The Kogi Police Command says two Indian expatriates are missing following Friday evening attack on a convoy of top management staff of West Africa Ceramics Company Ajaokuta, Kogi.
Kogi Commissioner of Police Edward Egbuka made the disclosure on Saturday in a statement issued by the Command’s image maker SP William Ovye-Aya in Lokoja.

2 “We just discovered that two expatriates of the West Africa Ceramics Company Ajaokuta were abducted by hoodlums that launched an attack on their convoy along Lokoja-Ajaokuta road.

3 “Our findings also showed that only one expatriate was killed along with the two police inspectors and two drivers of the ceramic company.

4 “While we condemn in strong term the dastardly act of the attackers, we are resolute to track them (hoodlums) down and rescue the expatriates unhurt.

5 “The police also wish to refute the insinuation that the hoodlums took away some AK-47 guns belonging to our officers during the attack,” he said.

6 Egbuka appealed to the public to report any suspicious character or movement to the security agencies for necessary action.

7 He said that  the bodies of the five victims had been deposited at the morgue of ASCOL Medical Centre in Ajaokuta Steel Complex.
