A four-year-old boy, Oluwadarasimi Omojola, has been reportedly kidnapped along Itaji/Ijelu Ekiti in Oye Local Government Area, Ekiti State, this evening.
The Owajumu of Omu Ekiti, Oba Gabriel Ogundeyi, who confirmed the incident through a telephone conversation with newsmen said the incident occurred around six o’clock in this evening Saturday, August 6.
