The attackers also killed Taiwo Oluwole, the husband of one of the captives.

According to security sources, who pleaded anonymity, the incident occurred around 5:30 PM near Oyimo River, along Emure-Eporo road in Emure.

Some pupils of Apostolic Faith Children School were kidnapped at the same spot in January.

Mrs Atinuke, wife of a retiree, Albert Adanikin, was also kidnapped on July 13 this year in the same area.

Sources told PUNCH Metro that Oluwole and his wife were returning to Akure after attending a family event in Emure when their vehicle, a Toyota Camry, was ambushed.

Oluwole was hit by the bullet, and his wife, along with two other occupants of the car, was subsequently kidnapped.


One source reported, “Taiwo Oluwole was killed, while his wife and two others were taken into captivity inside the bush. He was shot while the vehicle was in motion and died instantly. His corpse has been deposited at the Emure Ekiti General Hospital.”

A resident of Emure who identified himself as Akin confirmed the incident, stating that the kidnappers had not yet contacted the family of the victim as of the time of filing this report.

He said, “The late Taiwo was returning to Akure after attending a family event in the town. He was driving his Toyota Camry when they came under heavy gunfire from the bush, killing him instantly.

“The kidnappers then took the family through the forest in the Eporo area of the town. We have not been able to speak to them, and the kidnappers have not contacted the family yet.”

The Chairman of Emure Local Government, Tosin Adedayo, confirmed the incident and stated that a joint security team had been pursuing the kidnappers since the report was made.

Adedayo said, “I am aware and have been actively involved in the rescue mission to free our people. Soldiers, policemen, and others who went after the kidnappers have not returned since yesterday. We are confident that our people will be freed.”

Emure shares a border with Supare, a community in Ondo State.


The Ekiti State Police Public Relations Officer, Sunday Abutu, did not respond to calls or messages as of the time of filing this report.

interesting how these things are becoming a norm in Nigeria

Watch the Afonjitis come to blame IPOB/ESN while their Fulani masters continue to kill and rape them

So unfortunate that Kidnapping is increasingly being seen as very lucrative "business" to make quick milliions.

Ronu Muslims are very happy with this news

This news is not important, they can kidnap the whole Ekiti, let's keep our focus on one phantom amaka in Canada while our brothers are being slaughtered in Ekiti

Tochi, I wish this kind of news from there is not reported. This is to make them continue to deceive themselves, until suddenly, they realise that they had deceived themselves. Living crime unreported makes it grow robustly. Let's stop bringing the crimes that happen there to public knowledge. Let them continue to deceive themselves that their place is excellent.

Let's report every evil in SE and SS.

This rubbish you wrote here now, how does it sound to you.
Like on a Monday morning this is what is running through your brains

Na wa oo


Anyway until everybody says No to this insecurity, it will keep happening. Those gunmen don't suddenly appear from this sky, somebody somewhere knows that his brother, his neighbor or his friend is into criminality.

See how they've successfully normalized killing and kidnapping TUFIAKWA!

In this hard season
