Security sources told SaharaReporters that the two kidnap incidents took place yesterday in Oron, in the southern part of the state. A relative of the kidnap victim told our correspondents that her kidnappers used sledgehammers and other tools to breach the wall and gain access into the building which is located close to the Oron area headquarters of the Nigerian police.

Other residents in the area told SaharaReporters that the nearby police station failed to provide help despite several distress calls made to the police as the incident was taking place.

Our sources disclosed that the armed gunmen seized the Toyota Land Cruiser belonging to the family of the victim after firing several gunshots to scare away residents of the neighborhood. “They attempted to drive away with their victim only to discover that the SUV was out of fuel a few meters from the compound,” said a resident.

In anger, the kidnappers reportedly returned to the house perhaps to shoot the husband of their victim, but the man had escaped to safety. The kidnappers then took away their victim in a back-up car.

SaharaReporters learnt that the kidnappers have demanded a ransom of N15 million to free their hostage.
