About four gun-wielding hoodlums on Thursday night, at about 7 p.m., abducted two residents of Kobape in Obafemi Owode Local Government Area of Ogun State, Kelvin Ayobami Moyegun and Kehinde Rufai, while another resident, identified as Al-haqq Shobakin, was shot and is currently receiving medical care at a private hospital in Abeokuta.
A relative of one of the victims, who simply identified himself as Tosin, disclosed this to our correspondent on Friday.
Tosin said, “What I learnt was that one of the residents, Olayinka Obadimu, was about to go out, and Al-haqq Shobakin came out to open the gate for him, only for them to be confronted by the kidnappers at the gate.
“Obadimu, however, forcefully drove away amid gunfire, but Shobakin, who came to open the gate, was shot by the gunmen, who were said to be about four.
“They thereafter abducted my brother, Kelvin, and another young lady, Kehinde. The security agencies, such as the police, Amotekun Corps and the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, have been alerted, and we are hoping that they will help us bring back our loved ones.” Related News Police arrest two for aiding kidnappers in Kwara One dead as police foil Abuja kidnapping operation, rescue four Soldiers repel terrorists’ attempt to invade Borno communities
