Gunmen Storm Ogun, Abduct Two Chinese Civilians

Two Chinese nationals working for a fishery and poultry business in Ogun State were abducted by unknown gunmen.

The two foreigners were kidnapped at their workplace in Oba community, Obafemi-Owode Local Government Area, Ogun State, on Wednesday afternoon.

The gunmen reportedly raided the neighborhood about 3 p.m., firing sporadically into the air and causing panic among residents.

The invaders were able to pick up their targets and run while citizens scurried for cover.

The kidnappers entered the city via the River Ogun, which acts as the town’s natural boundary, according to NEWS DIRECT.

Oba Abdul-Ganiyu Sanyaolu, the town’s traditional ruler, confirmed the incident to reporters, saying that the bandits abducted two Chinese nationals, a male and a female.

Meanwhile, Abimbola Oyeyemi, the Public Relations Officer for the Ogun State Police, reported that the kidnappers had fled via the same River Ogun.
