Some commuters travelling along Osogbo/Ikirun road were in the early hours of Friday abducted at Ayepe community by some people suspected to be bandits.

The victims were said to have been whisked into the bush by their abductors.

Details of how the victims were abducted were not immediately available, but the perpetrators were said to demobilise the vehicle those abducted were travelling in and took them to the bush near the scene of the abduction.

A top security source, who pleaded anonymity, as he was not authorised to comment on the incident, during a chat, told our correspondent that Fulani bandits were suspected.

He added that Fulani bandits were identified as the perpetrators of a similar case of abduction that occurred in Dagbolu, a community also located along the Osogbo/Ikirun expressway on Wednesday.

During Wednesday’s abduction, a bricklayer, Moses Taiwo, was kidnapped by four men armed with guns and machetes and taken to a bush located off Osogbo/Ikirun road.

Taiwo, while speaking with our correspondent after he was released, said those that abducted him spoke in Fulfulde and Yoruba languages.
