The supervisor of a farm belonging to the late former Governor Adebayo Alao-Akala of Oyo State, Christopher Bakare, has been abducted by some gun-wielding kidnappers.
Bakare was reportedly abducted around 7pm on Saturday by hoodlums suspected to be Fulani herdsmen.
The farm supervisor, who is an indigene of Gbongan in Ayedaade Local Government Area of Osun State, was said to have been kidnapped on the farm named TDB farms located at Jabata community in Surulere Local Government Area of Oyo State.
A source close to the farm told journalists on Tuesday that the kidnappers had since contacted the family and demanded that N100m ransom be paid to secure the release of their captive.
The source said the incident had been reported to the police and the police told them that they were working to ensure his release.
He said, “The matter was reported to the police and we have been trying to negotiate with them even though the police had been informed.
“We informed the Police Area Command in Ogbomoso about the incident and we hope he will be freed soon.”
