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.
