The son-in-law of veteran journalist and former Managing Director of the defunct Monitor newspaper, Ayo Akinyemi, has been abducted in Ikenne Local Government Area of Ogun State.
The victim, Oreoluwa Osunuga, a businessman operating a poultry farm, was kidnapped by armed men on Sunday afternoon while leaving his farm settlement in Ikenne to attend routine business activities.
He was said to have been driving out of the farm to purchase fuel and deliver poultry products when the gunmen intercepted him and whisked him away.
The incident was later reported to the police, prompting officers from the Ikenne Divisional Police Headquarters to visit the scene and recover a 2017 Toyota Highlander car belonging to the victim.
The situation has become more alarming after the abductors reportedly contacted Mr Osunuga’s family using his mobile phone demanding ₦500 million for his release.
