Residents of Ajegunle village, located in the Afijio local government area of Oyo state, are living in fear and apprehension following the abduction of two brothers from the same family by suspected kidnappers. The family, who relocated to the village just two months ago from Bode Saadu in Kwara state, is still reeling from the shock of the incident, which occurred last Tuesday.
According to Alhaji Muhammadu Jayun, the father of the victims, his sons, Bello Jayun and his younger brother, were abducted by the suspected kidnappers. However, Bello managed to escape from the clutches of the bandits, albeit with injuries. The family is still awaiting news about the fate of the younger brother, as the suspected kidnappers have not contacted them to demand a ransom or provide any information about his whereabouts.
The Commander of the Vigilante Group of Nigeria (VGN) in Oyo state, Comrade Sunday Olajide, confirmed the incident and assured that his men are working closely with the police to investigate the matter. However, he noted that the escaped victim, Bello, is still recovering from the shock of the incident and needs time to provide more details about the abduction.
The incident has sent shockwaves through the community, with residents expressing fear and uncertainty about their safety. The abduction of the two brothers has raised concerns about the rising incidence of kidnapping in the area, and the need for increased security measures to protect lives and property. As the search for the missing brother continues, the family and the community remain in a state of anxiety, hoping for a swift resolution to the crisis.
