General Nelson was abducted with his driver on Thursday on his way to Kaduna to attend a function at the Armed Forces Command and Staff College in the state.
Efforts to reach the envoy on his GSM phone since Thursday by the Sierra Leonian embassy officials have proved abortive.
Unconfirmed reports said the kidnappers had demanded N44m ransom before they would release the envoy and his driver.
Their embassy officials could not be reached for comment as they did not respond to calls and SMS. Calls by Punch to the Head of Chancery, Joe Nyuma, were not responded to as of the time of reporting.
A Note Verbale (official diplomatic correspondence) had been sent to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to inform the Federal Government of Nigeria about the incident.
The Force Public Relations Officer, Don Awunah, confirmed the unfortunate development.
