The victims were said to have been waylaid after the hoodlums suddenly came from the bush to stop their vehicles with guns. It was not clear as of the time of this report if occupants of about three vehicles allegedly involved, one after the other, managed to escape with their passengers, but the police in Ekiti state gave account of only vehicle. Ekiti Police Command Spokesman, ASP Sunday Abutui, who confirmed the incident on Sunday, said one person lost his life to the attack.

embarassed embarassed Kidnapping business is booming and will soon break records on the Nigerian stock market. Our darling daddy is working and from all of us at vulturebbqrillz we appreciate all his effort in turning the country into a great one. GEJ wouldn't have accomplished all this if he had been reelected.
