Terrorists Abduct Newly Married Kogi Man Days After Wedding on Abuja–Lokoja Highway, Wife Escapes as Insecurity Worsens
Terrorists have abducted a newly married man from Kogi State just days after his wedding while traveling along the Abuja–Lokoja highway, a route increasingly plagued by kidnappings and violent attacks. The incident occurred on January 1, 2026, around Kotokerefe community, when the victim was journeying from Inye in Ankpa Local Government Area to Abuja with his wife and a friend.
Sources disclosed that the attackers intercepted their vehicle and forced it to stop, seizing the man while his wife and companion managed to escape and later raised the alarm. The victim reportedly got married on December 29, 2025, and was heading to Abuja shortly after the ceremony when he was abducted.
As of the time of reporting, security agencies had yet to issue an official statement, and it remains unclear whether the abductors have contacted the victim’s family to demand a ransom. The abduction comes amid escalating insecurity in Kogi State, following a separate terrorist attack on Idofin community in Yagba East Local Government Area on January 3, 2026, which left one person dead and another seriously injured.
