He was said to be driving his private car on Friday evening when he was accosted around Ise river along the old Auchi-Ekperi-Agenebode road.
It was gathered that the gun-wielding hoodlum shot sporadically, forcing his vehicle to a stop, before seizing their victim and dragged into the forest.
At the time of report, his abductors are said to have demanded the sum of N50 million as ransom.
