Kidnappers abduct two female OOU students

Gunmen suspected to be kidnappers have abducted to two female students of Olabisi Onabanjo University (OOU).

The students identified as Adeyemo Precious and Oyefule Abiola -who are of the departments of Forestry and Wildlife Management and Agricultural Economics respectively- were said to have been kidnapped while returning to their hall of residence located in Olowu area in Ayetoro campus of the institution, Yewa North Local Government Area.

It was gathered that the kidnappers have reached out to the families and demanded a sum of N50 million for the release of the students.

A source disclosed that the abductors linked up with the relatives of the victims through their phones.

“The kidnappers have not spoken with the families. It was the students that spoke and echoed the demands.

“We don’t whether they are Yoruba or Fulani because the families have not heard directly from them,” the source told Channels Television under the condition of anonymity.

DSP Abimbola Oyeyemi, the spokesperson of the state police command who confirmed the incident said a rescue mission led by the area commander in conjunction with local hunters has been launched in a bid to free the victims.
