According to sources, the commissioner was on his way to Lokoja when the suspected kidnappers opened fire on his vehicle.
The source said they were three in number in the car but the commissioner sustained gunshot wounds from the kidnappers as they were able to escape from the scene of the attack.
The source further confirmed that the Chairman of Ijumu Local Government Area, who doubles as ALGON chairman in Kogi State, Isah Taufiq, has mobilised the vigilantes and hunters in search of those that were kidnapped by the kidnappers.
The Commissioner is reported to be in a stable condition having escaped with injuries.
The state police public relations officer, DSP William Aya, who confirmed the incident, however, said that the number of those kidnapped had yet to be ascertained.
He said that officers in collaboration with other security agencies and local vigilantes are on the trail of the Kidnappers.
