He said the policemen were working in collaboration with the local hunters and vigilantes  to rescue the victim.

A relative of the victims told LEADERSHIP that: “Mr Kayode Ajayi and his daughter  were returning from their  farm at Laduba around 7.00pm on Monday when they were kidnapped by unknown gunmen.

“The gunmen later moved the victims far away from the farm but the daughter of Mr Kayode Ajayi was later left off the hook. The daughter of Mr Ajayi later called his mother to inform her that his father had been kidnapped by some suspected gunmen.

“It was at this point that the wife of Mr Ajayi raised the alarm over the kidnapping of her husband and later informed the police about the development.

 

“I want to tell you that we have been calling his number since Monday but repeatedly saying not available.  We have resorted to prayers and hope that Mr Ajayi will be rescued.”
