Five
persons, including a pastor, were abducted by gunmen suspected to be kinappers
in Ekiti State early Saturday.
The
incident occurred barely two days after the Administrative Secretary of the
Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in the state, Dr Muslim
Omoleke, was abducted at Iwaraja town, in Osun State. Omoleke was released on
Friday night in Ilesha.
It
was gathered from local sources in Ado Ekiti yesterday that the five persons
including the pastor, simply called Ojo, his driver, Jimoh, and three others
were seized by the suspected kidnappers.
They
were said to have been taken while traveling in two vehicles along Ise Ekiti
road, in Ise/Orun Local Government area of the state.
When
contacted, the spokesperson of the Ekiti State Police Command, DSP Alberto
Adeyemi, confirmed the incident, but said that two of the abducted persons had
been found, adding that his men were on the trail of the hoodlums to ensure the
release of the others.
