Gunmen invaded a hotel in Ajaawa, headquarters of the Ogo Oluwa Local Government Area of Oyo State, and abducted the owner, Mr Olukunle Oyedokun; his nursing wife, Juliana, and her infant, as well as five other relatives and a guest.
Our correspondent gathered that two other guests were able to escape from the gunmen around 10.30pm on Saturday.
A police officer, who spoke with our correspondent on condition of anonymity, said although there was an incident at the hotel, the number of victims could not be ascertained yet.
He said family members gave conflicting figure to the police, with some saying seven, while others insisted that only two persons were abducted.

The Oyo State Government has warned youths in the state to against violence and unhealthy rivalry among gangs, stating that insecurity does not do any society any good.
A statement by Moses Alao, Special Assistant (Print Media) to Governor Seyi Makinde, indicated that the Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Matters, Bayo Lawal, gave the admonition on Monday, while briefing journalists shortly after the security meeting held at the Ibadan North-East Local Government Area of the state.
Recall that there have been recurrent cases of cult gang wars by warring youths groups in parts of Ibadan leaving destruction in its trail.
