Gunmen have kidnapped Oba David Oyewumi, the Obadu of Ilemeso in Oye Local Government Area of Ekiti, police said on Friday.

The gunmen took the ruler after invading his palace on Thursday.

ASP Sunday Abutu, the spokesman for the police in the state, described it as “unfortunate and regrettable’’.

“We are already doing everything necessary to rescue him and apprehend the culprits,’’ he said.

Sources in Ilemeso told newsmen that the gunmen, numbering six scaled the Oba’s fence and fired several shots in the air to scare its occupants.

They said the incident happened at about 8.30 p.m. on Thursday night when the chiefs who visited the place had left.

“After they gained entry, the gunmen asked after the Oba which showed that they really came for him,’’ one of the sources said.

Ilemeso is a neighbouring town to Isan Ekiti, country home of Gov. Kayode Fayemi.

Oba Adetutu Ajayi, the Elewu of Ewu Ekiti, narrowly escaped kidnap at Isan Ekiti, last week on the Ewu-Ayetoro road.

Meanwhile, the Ekiti State Council of Traditional Rulers has called for the deployment of troops in the state following attacks and kidnap of royal fathers by gunmen.

Oba Oyewumi was said to have been kidnapped in his palace by gunmen who scaled the fence, shot sporadically into the air and made away with him.

Wondering how long you have been waiting for this kind of news so that you can celebrate.

The joke is on you

imhotep:

When will you apologize for indiscriminately supporting sai Dullardism??

helinues:


To hell with the apology...

You have been hell bent in trolling people who have different political opinions from yours.

The question is to what end is this trolling? What's the catch about it? As you can't make any comments on NL without mentioning me.. Are you getting paid for doing that?

Going through both your lzaa moniker and this one, how many comments have you made on NL without mentioning others ? Do you make any contribution to comments apart from mentioning others on empty message .

Like I said, the joke is on you.

imhotep:

Confess that Igbo amaka before Libyans invade your village.

helinues:


Of course, you will always shift the discussion..

From mocking the Yoruba about herdsmen attack, to apologize for supporting Buhari, now I should confess that Igbo Amaka.

Funnily, you have no idea about how your region people have been gossiping behind your activities, NL cancellers and other trollers from your region..

How I wish you could have a slight opportunity to hear what they are gossiping about...

You may pretend my message is not getting into you, but I can bet it that some part of your subconscious mind is already feeling guilty about your own activities and attitude towards others.

Outta here
