Date: 2025-02-03

The Kwara State Police Command has confirmed the abduction of two siblings and a woman in Owoyale village, Agbamu, Irepodun Local Government Area of Kwara State.

The victims, identified as Alhaji Moshood, Alhaji Abdulkazeem Owoyale (siblings), and a woman believed to be Moshood's wife, were reportedly kidnapped from their home at around 10 p.m. on Saturday.

The Kwara South Elders Security Network also confirmed the incident, stating that vigilante groups and the police have been combing forests across Kwara, Ekiti, and Osun states since Sunday morning in search of the abducted individuals.

“The vigilante and men from security agencies have been combing the forest in Ekiti, Oke-Ero, Ifelodun, Irepodun in Kwara state, Ifedayo and Ila local governments in Osun and Eda Oniyo council area in Ekiti State since Sunday morning but we are yet to see them”, a coordinator of the outfit who did not want his name in print told our correspondent in a telephone conversation on Sunday.

However, the Police Public Relations Officer, Adetoun Ejire-Adeyemi, in a statement signed on behalf of the state Commissioner of Police, Mr Victor Olaiya, on Sunday, confirmed that the three people were abducted on Saturday night and taken to an unknown destination.

“The Kwara State Police Command is aware of an unfortunate kidnap incident that occurred on February 1, 2025, at about 2200 hours. It was reported that unknown armed men stormed the Owoyale village along Oro-agbamu Road and forcefully whisked three persons to an unknown location.

“Alhaji Moshood and Alhaji Abdulkazeem Owoyale (siblings), and the wife to Alhaji Moshood were forcefully taken from their house,” she stated.

The statement further noted that the police alongside the vigilante/hunter groups had swung into action combing the forest to rescue the three victims unhurt and apprehend the criminals behind this act.

“Further developments on the outcome will be communicated as it progresses”, the police stated.
