Tension as gunmen invade Ondo community, abduct council official
Suspected gunmen have abducted an official of Akure North Local Government, Mr. Gbenga Sanni, in Ilu-Abo community, Akure, Ondo State.
The incident reportedly occurred in front of his residence in the Agbelere area of Ilu-Abo, where the attackers allegedly seized him and took him to an unknown location.
According to reports, the assailants emerged from a nearby bush shortly after Sanni arrived home and carried out the abduction.
Sanni, an indigene of Akunu-Akoko in Akoko North-West Local Government Area, had just returned to his residence when the gunmen struck.
Sources said his wife and two children were inside the house at the time of the abduction and watched helplessly as the gunmen carried out the operation.
“Three armed men came out of the nearby bush and whisked the victim away,” a source said.
Recall that no fewer than three residents of the community have been kidnapped in the last one month.
The latest abduction has thrown residents into fear and renewed concerns over growing insecurity in the area.
Police spokesperson, DSP Jimoh Abayomi, confirmed the abduction.
