Barely a week after a groom, his
bride and their friends were kidnapped in Ondo state, five travellers have
again been abducted in Oba-Akoko, Akoko South-West Local Government Area of the
state.
It was gathered that the victims
were travelling from Lagos to Abuja in a Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV) but
abducted by gunmen when they got to Ondo state.
Three of the new kidnap victims
were said to have been rescued by the Ondo State Police Command on Saturday.
Also, the groom who was abducted
penultimate Sunday at Akunnu town in Akoko North-East Local Government Area of
the state has reportedly regained his freedom.
Femi Joseph, Police Public
Relations Officer in the state, said policemen were drafted to the scene of the
abduction after being informed about the activities of the kidnappers and they
were able to rescue the victims.
“We were able to rescue Moses
Yakubu and Mark Shaibu who were kidnapped while going for a wedding ceremony
last week. We also rescued three female victims who were kidnapped last Friday
on the way to Abuja.
“Efforts are ongoing to rescue
the remaining victims and we are closing in on the kidnappers. We are going to
get them very soon,” Joseph said.
