An abducted 14 year old secondary school student identified as Marvelous Ayomide Ogunjolu, has escaped from the hands of some gunmen suspected to be kidnappers in Ondo town, Ondo state.
Vanguard reported that the victim, who has reunited with his family, was kidnapped when his father sent him an errand in the Owo town.
The kidnappers were said to have driven him from Owo to Akure through Ondo town and later to Ore, taking their victim to Edo state, when the unexpected incident occured and he was hastily released as they took to their heels.
The victim reportedly escaped by a whisker from the hands of his abductors.
While recounting his plight, Ayomide said that “My father sent me to buy toothpaste in the afternoon.
“On my way back from the shop where I bought the toothpaste, I saw some men and they asked me to follow them.
“They warned me not to shout or they will kill me with a gun.
“I was afraid. So, I went with them, because I didn’t want them to kill me.
“All along, I was crying. They drove through Akure to Ondo and later to Ore.
“They came back to Ondo on Thursday. I was in the car, when I saw a police car coming and blowing sirens. So, I started shouting for help.
“The kidnappers were afraid and they drove off to a street, where they dropped me and they fled.
“When I asked passersby for the name of the street, I was told it is called Akinjagunla in Ondo town.
“I want to call my daddy to tell him that I am in Ondo now.”
It was learnt that the victim was dropped in town after mounting much pressure on them, and the kidnappers immediately ran away for fear of being mobbed by youths in the town
