Monday, March 10, 2025 - Gunmen suspected to be kidnappers have abducted two men in Oba Ile community along Airport Road, in Akure North Local Government Area of Ondo State.
The
victims, a farm estate owner, Mr. Olanrewaju Oyeleye, 50, and his farm manager,
were abducted on the farm by the suspected hoodlums on Friday, March 7,
2025.
A source close to the victims disclosed that the abductors contacted the
families of the victims on Saturday, demanding the sum of N100 million as
ransom to secure the freedom of the two men.
The source disclosed that Oyeleye, who had spent several years abroad,
returned to Nigeria, some four years ago and decided to invest in the
mechanised farming business.
Confirming the abduction, the Commander of the Ondo State Security
Network Agency, Amotekun, Chief Adetunji Adeleye, described the development as
unfortunate.
However, he said men of the Amotekun had been drafted into the forest to
rescue the two men.
“The kidnapping of the farmer and his manager happened in the early
hours of Thursday, and we have been on it ever since,” he said.
“Our men are working tirelessly to ensure the victims are rescued from
the abductors, as we are tracking their location."
