National police spokesman Frank Mba said a manhunt had been launched for the kidnappers.
"Police are on the trail of the gunmen and we will do everything humanly and operationally possible to ensure that the learned lawyer is released unharm," Mba said.
Kidnapping for ransom, which was rife in the soulthern oil-producing Niger Delta before a 2009 amnesty deal for oil militants, has spread to other parts of the country in recent months with prominent Nigerians and their relations becoming targets.
