AN elderly Italian construction engineer has been kidnapped in Ilorin, the capital of Kwara State.
The Guardian learnt yesterday that the expatriate was monitoring a road drainage project by the state government when he was kidnapped at about 5:30 p.m. on Monday along Bishop Smith Street in Ilorin.
It was also learnt that the kidnappers were yet to make any contact with the associates of the Italian four days after he was kidnapped.
The new spokesman of the Kwara State police command, Fabode Olufemi (DSP), who confirmed the incident, lamented that it was capable of frustrating the efforts of the state government at ensuring good governance.
