The Enogie (Duke) of Ukhiri community in Ikpoba-Okha local government area, HRH Enogie Aigbe, has been abducted by gunmen suspected to be kidnappers.

Sources said the gunmen stormed his Ukhiri palace along Benin-Abraka road and shot sporadically into the air before leaving with their victim.

The source said the gunmen came with an unregistered car, which they set ablaze and made away with a Nissan sunny car belonging to the victim.

It was gathered the Enogie is a retired Chief Superintendent of Police before he took over the dukedom after the death of his father some years ago.

Police spokesman, DSP Chidi Nwabuzor, could not be reached for comments.

But police sources said  a crack team has been put in place to rescue the victim.
