Gunmen suspected to be kidnappers have abducted no fewer than seven travellers on the Owo-Ipele-Benin Highway in Ondo State.
A family member of one of the victims, who pleaded anonymity, said the travellers were abducted while returning from a South-South state to Akure, the Ondo State capital, on Saturday night.
“The assailants ambushed the travellers, forcing them out of their commercial vehicle, which was later found abandoned by the roadside, prompting other motorists to raise the alarm,” the source disclosed.
The Ondo State Police Public Relations Officer, CSP Funmilayo Odunlami, confirmed the incident to journalists on Tuesday, February 4, 2025.
“Seven people were abducted and an investigation is ongoing. Update on the incident will be provided soon,” Odunlami said.
