The News Agency of Nigeria ( NAN) gathered that Aku was kidnapped by a gang of five masked gunmen at about 8:30 pm on Friday in his town located on the Lokoja-Ajaokuta highway.
Aku, a third class traditional ruler, was said to be returning from a function at Ajaokuta and was just alighting from his car when he was abducted.
He was subsequently driven away in a vehicle brought by the abductors.
NAN learnt that the gunmen had already called to demand for a N10 million ransom.
The state Police Commissioner, Mr Yakubu Usman, however, said that the abduction of the traditional ruler was yet to be confirmed.
