Unknown gunmen have abducted the Edo State Commissioner for Science and Technology, Emmanuel Agbale. 

The Edo Police Command made this known through his Public Relations Officer, DSP Chidi Nwabuzor, who confirmed the development in an interview with newsmen in Benin.

Nwabuzor said that information available to the command indicates that Agbale was abducted by his yet-to-be-identified kidnappers on Friday evening by Ogbemudia farm, along the Benin-Auchi road in the Ehor Divisional jurisdiction.

He said that the orderly to Agbele was shot dead by the kidnappers in the process, while his driver escaped.

“It was the driver who now contacted and reported the development to the police.

“However, we have swung into action and investigation and search has commenced, so that the official is not only released but to also ensure that the abductors are apprehended,” he said.
