Gunmen have abducted two residents of Kobape in Obafemi Owode Local Government Area of Ogun State, Kelvin Ayobami Moyegun and Kehinde Rufai, while another, identified as Al-haqq Shobakin, was shot.
Penpushing reports that a relative of one of the victims, who gave his name as Tosin while speaking with journalists said the shot victim is currently receiving medical care at a private hospital in Abeokuta.
“What I learnt was that one of the residents, Olayinka Obadimu, was about to go out, and Al-haqq Shobakin came out to open the gate for him, only for them to be confronted by the kidnappers at the gate’, he said.
“Obadimu, however, forcefully drove away amid gunfire, but Shobakin, who came to open the gate, was shot by the gunmen, who were said to be about four. They thereafter abducted my brother, Kelvin, and another young lady, Kehinde’
‘The security agencies, such as the police, Amotekun Corps and the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, have been alerted, and we are hoping that they will help us bring back our loved ones’, he added
Penpushing further report that Ogun State Police Command Public Relations Officer Oluseyi Babaseyi, confirmed the incident, explaining that operatives of the command had already been deployed to rescue the victims and arrest the hoodlums.
“I can confirm that there was an abduction, and one person is currently in the hospital receiving medical care. The command has deployed its operatives to rescue those who were abducted and also arrest the perpetrators’, Babaseyi said
