Gunmen kidnap two Chinese farmers in Ogun
Unknown gunmen have abducted two Chinese from their farm in Oba town in Obafemi-Owode Local Government a few hours before the state governor, Dapo Abiodun, inaugurated the state’s wing of the South-West Joint Security Outfit known as Amotekun.
The governor, who inaugurated Amotekun on Wednesday in Abeokuta, disclosed that the Chinese have become victims of kidnapping.
The PUNCH gathered that the Chinese nationals working with a fishery and poultry company in the state were whisked away from the farm on Tuesday when the abductors attacked the place at noon and took them to an unknown location.
The Police Public Relations Officer of the Command, Abimbola Oyeyemi, confirmed the incident.
Oyeyemi said security operatives are working to locate the abductees and rescue them.
“We are on it, we are working to locate and rescue the victims,” he said.
Abimbola added that the abductors accessed the farm in Oba community through Odo Ogun (River Ogun) and escaped with the captives through the same water.
About a dozen of gunmen invaded the ancient Egba town of Oba-Ile around 3: 01 p.m yesterday and started shooting sporadically into the air, before abducting the two Chinese. Punch
