Ahead of the yuletide season men of the underworld have been on rampage in Kabba-Bunu local government area as the newly elected Honourable Councilor representing Odo-Ape ward in Kabba-Bunu Legislative Council, Hon. Alaba Moses aka Ope and 8 people were kidnapped overnight at their various communities.
An eyewitness who didn’t want his name in print confirmed that the kidnappers struck between 1 and 2am shooting sporadically to scare people around and kidnapped their victims.
He said the people of Odo-Ape are now living in fear not knowing who will be the next victim, adding that just yesterday an 18-passenger bus was ambushed around the area and all in the bus were kidnapped.
He further confirmed that 5 Gwari, 2 Bassa and one Silas in Agbadu were all kidnapped overnight in the area, calling on the security agencies and state government to help in protecting their lives, properties and also secure the release of those kidnapped.
It will be recalled that kidnapping cases have been recorded lately in the local government as the two brothers kidnapped on their family land located in Aluju in Kakun and the other three in Odo-Ape for over nine days now are still in their den.
Meanwhile, efforts to get the reaction of the Nigeria Police on the issue proved abortive as calls and WhatsApp messages sent to the Police PRO have not been responded to as at the time of filing in this report.
