By Adeboye Ado

A man identified as Oluwaseun has reportedly been killed by suspected gunmen believed to be kidnappers in Upenmen, Owo Local Government area of Ondo State.

Reports indicated that the victim was in the company of two other individuals, whose identities were undisclosed, when they were ambushed by the assailants on Saturday.

“Oluwaseun was with the two others when the gunmen arrived. He reportedly tried to escape but was shot, while his two companions were abducted,” a source who requested anonymity revealed.

The source added that residents of the area have been living in fear due to the persistent cases of abduction in Upenmen.

In a telephone interview, a community stakeholder, Mr. Owadara Lanre, confirmed the incident and called on the government and security agencies to address the ongoing security challenges in the area.

Efforts to contact the monarch of the community were unsuccessful, as both of his telephone lines were unreachable at the time of this report.
