Inhabitants of Bisodun and Kori-Oja villages as well as neighbouring communities in the Obafemi-Owode Local Government Area of Ogun State are currently living in fear over increasing cases of kidnapping in their area.

Newsmen gathered that inhabitants of the affected communities have resorted to fate as they live in constant fear of being abducted.

It was gathered that there were two reports of kidnappings in Kori-Oja village, while another case of abduction was recorded in Bisodun village on Monday.

A source told newsmen that the kidnappers stormed Kori-Oja village and kidnapped four persons at different times.

The source said, “They kidnapped four people, and one of them popularly called Surveyor was killed when he tried to escape. The three others paid ransom before they were released.

“One of them paid over N100,000 while another one N88,000 before they were set free. The police have arrested some of them and they have been transferred to the headquarters in Abeokuta.”

Newsmen gathered that the suspected kidnappers also on Monday invaded Bisodun village where a man and his wife were abducted.

They further gathered that joint security operatives consisting of the police and local hunters engaged the abductors in a gun duel.

It was learnt that while the security operatives were able to foil the kidnap attempt, one of the hunters was killed during the gun battle, and one of the victims was shot in the thigh.

Some of the inhabitants expressed fear, lamenting that reported cases of kidnapping made it difficult for people to go about their daily business.

A community leader in Kori-Oja community, Solomon Adeniji, said the gunmen often attack the communities during twilight and in the early hours of the morning,

He urged security operatives to help find a lasting solution to the attacks

A resident of Bisodun village, who pleaded anonymity for security reasons, said kidnappers are taking advantage of the low presence of security operatives to perpetrate evil in the community.

He said, “They came to our community yesterday, they kidnapped a couple. On their way out, the vigilante group engaged them in a crossfire; they were able to save the couple, but the kidnapper shot the wife in her thigh, they escaped and also killed one of the vigilante guys.

“Those of us who are tenants don’t know where to go or what to do. We have called on the police, the Amotekun Corps, the So-Safe Corps, vigilantes, and all of them. They have been doing their best though, but if this continues, people would start abandoning their property.

“It was one neighbouring village they attacked last week, and now they have invaded our community. I am sure they will not stop anytime soon, except the government come to our aid and ensure they are arrested.”

The state Police Public Relations Officer, SP Abimbola Oyeyemi, confirmed the kidnap cases.

Oyeyemi also argued that kidnapping happened in Bisodun for the first time, promising that the kidnappers will be arrested soon.

He said, “I live in Bisodun village and that will be the first time we will be experiencing such things there.

“The kidnappers have not been arrested, but they were engaged. The local hunters and policemen went there and engaged them. They were able to rescue the couple. One of the hunters was shot, and the kidnappers too escaped with injuries.”
