A popular commercial driver, Muihili Adebayo, has been abducted by armed bandits in Ondo State.

The assailants also killed his son and injured his wife during the attack.

The incident occurred on Wednesday night at Adebayo’s residence in the Shagari area of Owo Local Government Area.

Adebayo, who operates the Akure-Lagos route, was reportedly ambushed and taken away by the gunmen.

A neighbour disclosed that Adebayo’s wife was shot while resisting the kidnappers.

He said one of their children was killed during the ugly incident.

“She is currently recovering in a private hospital, but the boy died on the spot. The mother sustained a bullet wound to her hand but managed to escape,” the source said.

The injured woman was later rushed to the Federal Medical Centre (FMC) in Owo, where she remains in a coma.

A family member, who requested anonymity, confirmed that the kidnappers have demanded a N20 million ransom for Adebayo’s release.
