Two Abducted, One Injured as Unknown Gunmen Storm Oyo Community
In the early hours of Saturday, two people in Otu town in Oyo State were reportedly kidnapped by unknown gunmen.
Otu is one of the towns in the Itesiwaju Local Government Area in the Oke Ogun geopolitical zone of the state.
The Pendulum Media gathered that the two people kidnapped are identified as Mr. Dayo Olayanju and the wife of Mr Kehinde Obasola.
According to verified reports, Obasola escaped with gunshots but his wife was kidnapped by the gunmen.
However, the whereabouts of the kidnapped victims have not been revealed at the time of filing this report.
A community leader in the local government area told DAILY POST that the incident occurred Saturday morning.
Pleading anonymity, the community leader said, “It is true. It happened around 2 am today.
“They were kidnapped in different areas. One was kidnapped along Okeho Road.
“I have confirmed it. The two people kidnapped are Dayo Olayanju and the wife of Kehinde Obasola. Kehinde Obasola escaped with gunshots but his wife was kidnapped.”
Meanwhile, efforts to reach the State’s Police Spokesperson, Adewale Osifeso, proved abortive, as calls put through his telephone line were not answered.
Also, efforts to get the state Commandant of Western Nigeria Security Network, WNSN, also known as Amotekun, Olayinka Olayanju, were futile.
