Reverend Canon Olowolagba, an Anglican priest, together with his other half and 2 kids, has actually been abducted by abductors who are requiring a 75 million ransom for their release.

The household was taking a trip along the Ise Akoko-Iboropa roadway in Akoko North-East Local Government Area of Ondo State when they were obstructed by the abductors on Sunday night in between 4:00 pm and 5:30 pm. Reverend Olowolagba, a local of Ikaram-Akoko, was accompanied by his partner, their 16-year-old child Goodness, a first-year trainee at Adekunle Ajasin University, and a nine-year-old lady called Idowu who was sticking with them.

Bishop Babajide Bada of the Akoko Anglican Diocese verified the kidnapping, discussing that church members understood something was incorrect the next early morning when the household stopped working to reach their location in Ikaram.

“The abductors at first required 75 million however later on lowered it to 10 million. After we handled to collect some funds, they increased it once again to 15 million,” stated Bada. He included that efforts are continuous to protect their release.

Regional security forces, consisting of the Amotekun Corps and hunters, have actually released a search operation in the location to save the victims. “Amotekun is dealing with hunters and other security companies, combing the bushes to make sure the household’s safe return,” Bada stated.

Regardless of these efforts, the Ondo State authorities representative, SP Funmilayo Odunlami-Omilani, mentioned that the cops had actually not yet gotten an official report of the occurrence. Amotekun Commander Akogun Adetunji Adeleye ensured the public that security forces are actively working together to deal with the circumstance and bring the household home securely.

The kidnapping highlights the growing security difficulties in the area, as neighborhoods depend on combined efforts from police and regional vigilantes to fight criminal activities.
