The Benue State Governor, Hyacinth Alia, on Saturday urged the kidnappers of the caretaker chairman of Ukum local government area of the state, Rev. Gideon Haanongon, and three others to release them unconditionally.
Alia made the call on during a funeral oration for the paramount ruler of Katsina-Ala, Chief Fezanga Wombo, at the Akume Atongo Stadium in Katsina-Ala LGA.
Gunmen on Sunday morning abducted Haanongon, his orderly, driver and personal assistant while on their way to the funeral ceremony of the late monarch.
