It was learnt that the duo were kidnapped on Tuesday, May 13, 2014 between Okurekpo and Okufuoma communities along the Effurun-Eku express way, Ethiope East Local Government Area, Delta State.
Sources said that Ekure who was driving a black Camry saloon car was returning from a family meeting to discuss his father's funeral at Eku when the car was intercepted by their abductors.
According to a dependable source, the kidnappers dragged Ekure and Okpor out of the Camry car at gun point and forced them into their own car and zoomed off in a commando style to an unknown destination and none of them had been seen since then.
A source who spoke on the condition of anonymity said Ekure's car which was abandoned had been recovered by the police at Isiokolo, headquarters of Ethiope East Local Government Area.
Another source close to the Ekure family, however, told newsmen that the kidnappers had made contact with the panic stricken family members, demanding N10m ransom.
The Area Commander in charge of the Ughelli Area Police Command, Awosola Awotinde confirmed the incident saying that his men were on top of the matter.
