Former College Of Education Provost, Driver Abducted In Abeokuta-Ibadan Road Ambush

Immediate past Provost of the Federal College of Education, Osiele, Abeokuta, Ogun state, Dr. Ayodele  Ajayi, has been kidnapped on Abeokuta-Ibadan Road.

Team@orientactualmags.com learned that Ajayi was  abducted alongside his wife and driver at about  7:17 pm on Tuesday .

The incident occurred in Ikija  , Odeda Local government , Ogun state.

Ajayi’s wife was later released by the gunmen who however took  the former Provost and his driver away.

A resident of the area, who spoke on condition of anonymity,  said Ajayi and other motorists were ambushed by the gunmen   .

Spokesperson for the state police command, Omolola Odutola, who has confirmed the incident, added that the police and other security agencies are on the trail of the abductors.

‘We don’t know the identity of the man yet. We cannot say whether he was a former provost or not. But we can confirm that someone was kidnapped.

We learnt that the victim and his wife were coming from a function. I think the wife of the man has a school and they were just returning from an event in the school when the gunmen struck.

The gunmen took a lot of people initially, but they later released them and took the man, his wife, and the driver.

But police and other security agents mounted pressure on the abductors which made them later release other people that were kidnapped, including the man’s wife, but the man and his driver were taken away.

The police have recovered the man’s vehicle which was later abandoned by the abductors. We are on the trail of the abductors’ she said-Team@orientactualmags.com Do you have any information you wish to share with us? Do you want us to cover your event or programme?
