Some residents of Fowowawo, Ajerogun and Magbon-Etido communities in Obafemi-Owode Local Government Area of Ogun State have fled their homes following a failed abduction attempt that left no fewer than six people dead.
PUNCH Metro correspondents who visited the communities on Wednesday observed that several houses and shops were under lock and key, while activities in the usually busy settlements had significantly reduced.
Recall that suspected kidnappers invaded a dredging site in the area in the early hours of Monday in an attempt to abduct a Chinese national, but the operation was unsuccessful.
The Ogun State Police Command had confirmed that the attack resulted in the deaths of a soldier, a local hunter and four other persons.
The Police Public Relations Officer, Babaseyi Oluseyi, also disclosed that one of the suspected kidnappers was killed during a gunfight with security operatives who responded to the incident.
