 Protest as kidnappers abduct nine Surveyors in Ondo

 

Protesters have stormed Akure, the Ondo State capital over the abduction of nine Surveyors at Owode Ilu-Abo in Akure South local government area.

The nine Surveyors who hail from Akure were at Owode Ilu-Abo for jobs when they were abducted.

Placard-carrying women stormed the streets of Akure and blocked the popular Oba Adesida road.

A sister to one of the kidnapped victims, Comfort Afolabi, said the nine Surveyors were abducted last week.

Afolabi said the kidnappers demanded N50m before they would begin negotiation for their release.

She said the kidnappers have placed the ransom at N100m before they would release their victims.

Kidnappings have been on the rise in Ondo State. Last week, a farmer and his manager were abducted while returning from farm at Oba Ile area.

Ondo Police Commissioner, Wilfred Afolabi, admitted the Police Command lacked requisite logistics to tackle kidnappings and other criminals.
