FEAR GRIPS OYO COMMUNITY AS GUNMEN STORM FARM, KIDNAP FOUR

A farm manager (name withheld), alongside his girlfriend and two other workers, were kidnapped at a farm settlement in Iseyin, Iseyin Local Government Area of Oyo State.

Chairman of the Farm Settlement Association, Mr. Rasheed Adepoju, who confirmed this to Newsmen, yesterday, said the incident happened Saturday around 10:30 am.

Adepoju said the manager was on the poultry farm to inspect the level of work being done when the abductors dressed in army camouflage with sophisticated weapons invaded the farm situated within the settlement and abducted them.

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.
