OGUN, Nigeria – Gunmen in Nigeria’s Ogun State have reportedly abducted 20 travellers along the Sagamu-Ijebu-Ode Expressway at about 8 pm on Sunday, with one of the victims shot in the knee, according to local media.

The armed kidnappers reportedly ambushed the travellers between the Sagamu Area Command of the Nigeria police and Ilisan Township.

“Information reaching me right now confirmed a kidnapping incident between the Area Command and Ilisan City Gate (formerly Delabo),” said a chairman of Ilisan Development.

“A resident of Ilisan (name unconfirmed) was reportedly shot in the knee and is receiving medical attention at Babcock Teaching Hospital.

“Other victims were taken into the bush. While waiting for additional information, please contact your loved ones who may be plying that road at about this time to be cautious.

“I have spoken to the Sagamu Area Commander about this incident, and hopefully, we trust that all the security agents will go after these criminals and rescue these people,” THE PUNCH quoted the source as saying.

Ogun State Police Command did not immediately respond to KOIKI Media’s request for comments.
