The police in Osun state have confirmed the abduction of a 32-year-old woman and her child who were both siezed by kidnappers in the Otaefun/Kobo’ngbogboe area of Osogbo on Tuesday.
Speaking on Wednesday, spokesperson of the command, Yemisi Opalola, said a report of the abduction was made to the police and the security agency was making efforts to rescue the victims.
Senior pastor of Union Baptist Church, Odi-Olowo, Osogbo, Sunday Adeoye, announced the kidnapping of the woman and her child in a statement on Wednesday.
The church spokesperson, Oluwamayowa Fagbohungbe, quoted Mr Adeoye saying the woman was kidnapped while returning from her shop.
The woman and her family are members of the church, and she was slated to be a teacher in the teenagers’ ministry.
Meanwhile, the kidnappers have contacted the victim’s husband to demand a ransom of N5 million, which they instructed must be paid into the victim’s bank account.
The abduction was the third in Osun since the beginning of the year, with ransoms allegedly paid to secure the release of victims.
