Two Chinese nationals abducted in Ogun

On Sunday, two Chinese nationals, Chen Wenguang and Liang Ding, were kidnapped in the Kémta/Abule-Owu area along Onigbedu Road in Ogun State.

The victims, who are affiliated with Good One Carton Company located in the area, were taken while visiting friends around 1:45 pm without any security personnel.

State police spokesperson Omolola Odutola confirmed the incident on Monday, stating that the kidnappers have reached out to the company with a ransom demand for the victims’ release.

Odutola explained, “The company’s security supervisor received a call from one of the expatriates informing him that Wenguang and Ding had been abducted and that a ransom was being demanded.”

She noted that security operatives in the state have begun a manhunt to rescue the victims.

“Our operatives in the Ewekoro Division, with the assistance of local vigilantes, military personnel from the Social Orientation and Safety Corps, local hunters, and other security groups, thoroughly searched the entire Kémta Village forest for the duo but were unable to find them.”

She added that efforts are ongoing to secure their release.
