Unknown gunmen on Wednesday kidnapped Okechukwu Nnodim, a reporter with PUNCH newspaper.
Nnodim was kidnapped from his residence in Abuja after the gunmen gained access to his residence by scaling the fence of his house and they started shooting into the air.
Ekohotblog gathered he had just finished devotion with his family around 11pm on Wednesday, when the gunmen, who are four in number, broke into his apartment at Kubwa, a suburb in the federal capital territory (FCT).
They reportedly demanded money from him, before he was whisked away.
A child of his neighbour was also said to have been taken away, alongside the reporter.
Hours later, a source confirmed that the kidnappers had contacted the reporter’s sister, who lives in Lagos, and requested N10 million as ransom.
Nnodim’s kidnap is the latest in the wave of abductions across the country.
