According to him, “It happened opposite the farm settlement, There is a big poultry farm there, So the manager came there to inspect the work.

“Probably, they don’t know the route or because of the downpour that damaged the road, they abandoned the car of the man there and took him and others into the bush.

“So, we contacted the Police, Amotekun and some other vigilante group from the area but they couldn’t do more maybe because of the rain.”

The chairman said the security operatives, however, invaded the forests on Sunday morning to rescue the abductees.
