File photo: Masked gunmen

Some yet-to-be-identified gunmen, on Tuesday, attacked Ora, a boundary community along the Osun/Kwara boundary and abducted the Vice Chairman of the Ifedayo Local Area, Mr Debo Farounbi.

Farounbi was reportedly abducted in Ora around 10pm on Tuesday, alongside three other people, by gunmen who shot into the air, causing panic among the residents.

It was further learnt that the military men and local volunteers stationed in the town put up a strong resistance, forcing the perpetrators to abandon three of those abducted.

They reportedly went away with Farounbi after a heavy gunfight.
