Gunmen have reportedly kidnapped one man identified as Kayode Ajayi and his daughter along Afon Road, in Asa Local Government of Kwara State.
The victims were abducted while returning from the farm along Afon road on Monday.
The State Police Command Public Relations Officer, SP Okasanmi Ajayi, confirmed the incident on Monday night.
He disclosed that the daughter of the man has been rescued.
The spokesman disclosed that “efforts are rigorously in progress to get Mr Kayode Ajayi rescued, please.”
Reports revealed that two persons who were kidnapped in Ago-Oja community of the local government some months ago were killed.
They included a nursing mother, Kehinde Ikeanabi Jibril and a student of the Kwara State Polytechnic, Ilorin, Babatunde Oriyomi, who lost their lives after ransoms were paid.
The four-month old baby of the nursing mother was dropped and the woman whisked away to an unknown destination only for the kidnappers to reach the family demanding ransom for her release.
While the nursing mother was killed and her body later found in the bush within the community, the student died in the hospital as a result of the injuries sustained in a bloody encounter with the armed kidnappers, even after N400,000 ransom was paid for his release.
In an earlier incident, the Magaji Erubu, Dr Erubu, a former physician to former Governor Bukola Saraki, was also kidnapped in the area while returning from a trip to Ilorin, but was later set free after days in captivity.
