The Edo Police Command on Monday said four persons, including two police men, were killed  in a suspected kidnap operation in Benin.

The Edo police spokesman, Peter Ogboi, confirmed the killings  in a text message to the News Agency of  Nigeria ( NAN) in Benin.

NAN  reports that some gunmen on Sunday abducted the chairman of  Tomline Conglomerate, Tes Sorae.

Ogboi named the other two victims as Sorae’s wife and his personal driver.

The police spokesman, however, said no arrest had been made as  investigation into the case was still on.
