The Ogun State Police Command has confirmed the abduction of six people by gunmen in the Obafemi-Owode Local Government Area of the state.
The Commissioner of Police, Lanre Ogunlowo, revealed that the victims, six marketers of a Lagos-based real estate firm, were kidnapped at Oyebola village.
Ogunlowo, however, said a manhunt had been activated by officers and men of the command to rescue the victims and bring the perpetrators to justice.
The police commissioner, while confirming the unfortunate incident on Sunday, said that according to a report from one of the workers, the victims were whisked away during their visit to the area.
“So, they brought some marketers from Lagos to come and see the land so that they can have the requisite information to market the land for the members of the public who are interested,” Ogunlowo said.
“It was during their visit to this land that the six people were abducted.
“It happened on Friday, and the command had been on it since, and we shall definitely ensure that these people regain their freedom,” he added.
