A yet-to-be-ascertained number of travellers have reportedly been kidnapped between Ekiti and Ondo States by some gunmen who laid siege on the road.

The incident, which SaharaReporters gathered, happened on Thursday evening was between Ikere Ekiti and Iju locations.

The victims were, according to several reports, travelling in two vehicles – a Toyota Corolla and a white Highlander when they were intercepted and marched into the bush.

A video of the incident seen by SaharaReporters on Saturday showed how the hoodlums riddled the vehicles with bullets.

As of the time of filing this report, it was not clear whether the kidnappers had contacted their family members for ransom.

Meanwhile, personnel of the Ondo State Amotekun and the Nigerian police, who were called for intervention, had already started tracking the kidnappers.

SaharaReporters’ efforts to speak with the Ondo State Police Command were unsuccessful as the command spokesperson, Funmilayo Odunlami, could not be reached on telephone.

SaharaReporters had only in December reported that gunmen also attacked the team bus conveying the players, coaches and staff of Sunshine Star Football Club, based in Akure, Ondo State, along the Ore -Benin Expressway.

SaharaReporters had gathered that the gunmen shot one of the team boys and injured several players and coaches of the team.

The team was travelling to Benin City, Edo State Capital to play a fixture against Bendel Insurance in the Nigerian Premier League.

Yes o oduduwwa republic have a media branch in all the Asia countries they’ve casted , the spirit of Chinaza is moving miraculously 😁

God what is happening

When spiritual powers disembark after their usual tasks of the ember months, empowered powers takeover in January.

I told someone that the much publicised arrest of a "notorious" kidnapper and the sudden release of videos of the army battling bandits in the Bush is all part of a script. They call their boys to order and there's a sudden peace and calm on all fronts while they parade an arrested "notorious" kidnapper who becomes the poster boy of all the attacks and then everybody wins. Isn't it strange not one body has been paraded or displayed. Most reports from the victims mention the kidnappers carrying rifles and automatic weapons but the police are parading a guy with 2 pistols as a notorious kidnapper

"Chinaza Philip" has abandoned his cows inside a thick evil forest and started tormenting well meaning Nigerians again. The security operatives should rise up to the occasion, please.

Chai! These are people family members and relations. Hope they are rescued on time. If the citizens are not safe, then no government official should go about with any security convoy.

Na residual arms of boko be dis now.

The implications of the onslaught against these terrorists in Abuja is that they will now migrate to the neighboring states.

And if those states do not sit up they will spread fast.... I've seen it happen before in my state the military gave them hot bombardments in Niger state and they crossed into Kogi state and mixed with their kinsmen, till today my state is still battling to get rid of them.

chinaza Philip should take his time oo

They will soon parade another ebuka john

.

May God deliver them safely from the hands of the kidnappers....
Our government need to do more on security of lives.....
