Armed bandits struck in a community in Ogun State, abducting two Chinese nationals working with a fishery and poultry company.
The incident happened around 3pm on Wednesday at the company’s premises in Oba community, Obafemi-Owode Local Government Area of Ogun State.
The bandits stormed the area shooting sporadically causing residents to flee in various directions.
They reportedly went straight for the foreigners and escaped shortly after.
Residents believed the bandits accessed the community through the River Ogun, which serves as a natural boundary for the town.
The traditional ruler of the town, Oba Abdul-Ganiyu Sanyaolu, confirmed the incident to news men, saying that two Chinese nationals – a male and a female, were taken away by the bandits.
Ogun State Police Public Relations Officer, Abimbola Oyeyemi, confirmed the incident, adding that the abductors escaped through the same River Ogun.
