According to the source, who pleaded not to be mentioned, the couple’s family has been contacted about the abduction and a sum of N20m ransom is being demanded by the abductors. The source said the six kidnappers, with sophisticated weapons and dressed in military camouflage, waylaid the victims’ vehicle between Efon Alaaye and Erio Ekiti. “As they waylaid their car, the occupants of the vehicle coming behind them quickly ran into the bush. “They even shot into the air to scare us and ensure that we stopped, but we ran for our lives. We even thought they were robbers until we learnt that they have called the abductors’ family,” he said. NAN recalls that before now, the thick forest between Efon Alaaye, a border town with Osun State to Iwaraja, an Ijesa town, had been branded a black spot by security agencies. Prominent indigenes of the state, including the State Financial Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, Mr. Kayode Oni, have been kidnapped in that axis recently. Men of the Nigeria Army a couple of weeks ago also combed the bush to arrest criminals taking cover there. When contacted, the Police Public Relations Officer, Ekiti Command, ASP Caleb Ikechukwu, said he had yet to be briefed about the incident and promised to give details later.
