Unknown gunmen abducted a 24-year-old poultry farmer on Monday in his farm after invading Oke Odan, Olomo area of Apete Community in Ibadan
The victim whose father owns the farm was kidnapped about 5pm while working on the farm with other workers
It was learnt that the abductors came to the farm in the evening with guns, and started shooting, to instil fear in the workers and others on the farm premises.
The gunmen, who were identified as the Fulanis started asking for the farm owner immediately they arrived at the premises.
When told by the workers that the farm owner was not around, the gunmen pounced on his son who was trying to escape, and went off with him.
At that time, it was learnt, other people on the farm fled in different directions to save their lives.
It was further gathered that when the Divisional Police Officer at Apete Division and other officers were informed of the incident, the DPO, a female, other officers and local vigilante men stormed the surroundings of Olomo community in search of the abductors and their victim.
They were also said to have gone into the forest leading to Moniya area of the city from Olomo community, on information that the kidnappers took the route, but their efforts had yet to yield results, as the abductors could not be found.
