Pa Ajagunna Adalumo, a 90-year old father of one Oluwole Adalumo, who is the owner of a popuar hotel in Ikole, Ekiti state, has been kidnapped.
He was kidnapped on Wednesday night from his house at Oke-Ijebu, Ikole in Ekiti.
According to Daily Post, an eyewitness, Bimbo Ajayi, who is a relative of the victim, on Thursday morning revealed that the abductors came into the premises of the aged man around 8pm.
Ajayi said a man came down from a car parked in front of the house and approached Pa Adalumo in his sitting room under the pretence that the victim’s son – hotelier, sent him to the old man.
“When the abductor came out of the house alongside the old man, two other men from the car dragged Baba into their car and drove away before people could suspect their mission.
“We raised alarm to prevent the abduction of Baba but they have left and we were unable to trace the vehicle,” she narrated.
Also speaking on the abduction, one of the youths in the area, Mr Festus Kolade said that the matter was immediately reported at the Police station while the search for the whereabouts of the old man begun.
Kolade, who claimed to be a family member of the victim, said the family was yet to make any contact with the abductors.
Relatives and friends of the victim were seen in groups at the front of his house at Oke-ijebu on Thursday morning discussing the incident and wondered what would have prompted the hoodlums to abduct the aged.
A police officer at Divisional Police Station in Ikole, who pleaded not to be named, confirmed the incident but said he could not give details on the matter until investigation is completed.
He however assured that the abducted man would be located and regain freedom from his captors.
