Gunmen have reportedly kidnapped one Olukunle Oyedokun, a
hotelier, and his wife from a hotel in Ajaawa, Ogbomoso, Ogo-Oluwa LGA of Oyo
state.
The incident was said to have occurred around 10:30pm on
Saturday.
The gunmen were also said to have kidnapped Oyedokun’s three
children, five relatives, and a guest.
It was gathered that when the gunmen invaded the area, they
shot sporadically into the air, before carrying out the abduction.
When contacted, Adewale Osifeso, the Oyo state
police command spokesperson, he confirmed the development, saying a team of
operatives is on the trail of the perpetrators.
However, Osifeso did not confirm the number of persons
kidnapped during the incident, noting that he will reach out after the police

“It is confirmed that an unfortunate abduction happened in
Ajaawa over the weekend. As we speak, our team of operatives are actively on
the case,” he said.
