Confirming the incident, Olufunmilayo Odunlami-Omisanya, the state police spokesperson, said officers and vigilantes were combing the forest in search of the chief imam.
Odunlami-Omisanya said the victim’s car and mobile phone were found at the farm.

The suspected kidnappers took Edet into a Toyota Sienna and later moved him into a speed boat.
