The family of a woman, Olayinka Oremade, who was reportedly abducted by gunmen in the Alapako/Oyebola area of Ogun State, has appealed to the Nigeria Police Force and the government to intensify efforts to secure her release.

The victim was reportedly kidnapped alongside one of her staff members on Friday, August 14, after gunmen allegedly attacked their vehicle while they were returning from a farm in the area.

Speaking in a WhatsApp conversation with our correspondent on Saturday, Olayinka’s son, Oremade Ilerioluwa, said his mother had gone to a farm to create content for her business before she and her staff were allegedly ambushed on their way back.

According to him, four armed men appeared in front of the vehicle, prompting his mother to attempt to reverse and escape.

He said, “When they were in the vehicle, four of the kidnappers appeared at the front. She tried to reverse when she noticed what was going on. As she was reversing, three other kidnappers appeared at the back, and they shot the back tyres.
