Update from

Razaq Lasisi, a former secondary school principal in Ogun state has narrated his ordeal as gunmen suspected to be Fulani herdsmen have kidnapped three residents in Ogun State and demanded a sum of N10 million, packs of codeine, marijuana, water and food as ransom.

It was gathered that the gunmen hid in a bush in Obada-Oko area of Abeokuta, the state capital on Saturday, November 6 and unleashed terror on residents.

They reportedly shot Lasisi and whisked three residents after the police from the Obada-Oko division engaged them in a gun duel.

According to Lasisi, who identified himself as a former secondary school principal, he was on his way home from work around 9pm, when the gunmen attempted to kidnap him but he managed to escape.

Narrating his ordeal, the survivor said he narrowly escaped from the kidnappers at an area called Ogba Kehinde, a stone’s throw to his house.

“Immediately I tried to escape, one of them shot me twice, and as I was about to move faster, one grabbed me and I gave the person a heavy blow which made him to leave me. Blood spread all over my body and I have to run down to my neighbour’s house. So, I told my neighbour that he should take me to Aro Psychiatric hospital because I felt that was the only place I could be treated.”

According to him, Ogba Kehinde is a six-acre land with some buildings on that land but since some years back, the land has been abandoned by the owner.

Lasisi said the palace was being used for a poultry farm long time before Obada-Oko developed to the present situation. He claimed that the buildings on the acres of land now harbour criminals.

Speaking on the fate of the kidnapped victims, Lasisi said the kidnappers have called the community and demanded a sum of N10 million and some hard drugs as ransom.

"The kidnappers have called today and asked us to pay N10 million before they can release their victims. They said we should come along with packs of codeine, marijuana, water and food as ransom. But, after serious appeals, they have reduced the ransom to N1.5 million with codeine, water and food.” he said.

Spokesperson of the State Police Command, Abimbola Oyeyemi, who confirmed the incident, said one suspect had been arrested in connection with the kidnapping.

“Yes, it is true. The suspect arrested is a strong member of the kidnappers. We have commenced the investigation and we would soon arrest them." Oyeyemi stated.

Not again.

IPOB is there problem. Oga principal your fellow SW frogs don't care. The east is there problem

This is bad,what is wrong with fulanis

The truth is, both the state and federal government now is not ready to tackle this Fulani herdsmen and banditry issue headlong.. something is definitely not adding up in this whole thing, how can a group of uncivilised set of less humans be disturbing a whole nation with impunity with no solution at sight despite the overwhelming military force we possess?

The southwest governors are not yet ready to tackle this Fulani problem before it goes out of hand, our southeast governors are the most useless, thank God for IPOB/ESN.
