A businessman and farmer based in Oke-Onigbin in the Isin Local Government Area of Kwara State, Alhaji Alaga Olayemi, has been reportedly kidnapped on Thursday evening.
Tribune Online gathered that the kidnap was carried out by a suspected seven-man armed gang suspected to be Fulani bandits.
The victim, who was said to have been with some of his aides, were ambushed by their attackers around 7 p.m. on Thursday while on their way home from a maize farm.
It was gathered that the two aides managed to escape being abducted after the confrontation with the kidnappers, but sustained some machete cut injuries, while their boss was reportedly whisked away to an unknown destination.
It was also gathered that men of the security agencies and local hunters were already combing the area in search of the kidnap victim as no contact has been made to the relations yet.
Speaking on the development, the state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Okasanmi Ajayi, confirmed the kidnap of Alhaji Alaga Olayemi, saying that intensive effort to rescue him has been activated by the Commissioner of Police, CP Mohammed Lawal Bagega.
It is recalled that four farm managers were kidnapped in Asa Local Government Area, but later regained their freedom after an intensive effort by the police a few weeks ago.
