Gunmen on Saturday night abducted a 13-year-old boy, Gbolahan Ajibola, in Obada-Oko in Ewekoro Local Government area of Ogun state.
In a related development, a Catholic priest, Rev Fr. Izu Marcell, has also been reportedly kidnapped by suspected herdsmen in Okigwe Local Government Area of Imo State.
The gunmen, who struck around 9pm in Ogun State were said to have swooped on Ajibola’s family as they were about to enter their house within Destiny Estate in Obada-Oko.
The attackers, who hid in a bush near the house, pounced on the family when Ajibola alighted from the car to open the gate.

The cold war between the Ogun State Governor, Mr. Dapo Abiodun and his immediate predecessor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun manifested at the weekend, as the two leaders differed on the nature of the airport to give priority in the state.
While Abiodun made the case for a cargo airport to support the state’s massive agro-allied development potentials, Amosun called for the construction of an international passenger airport.
The duo expressed these divergent positions at separate sessions with the Senate Committee on Aviation under the leadership of Senator Smart Adeyemi in Abeokuta at the weekend.
In 2007, the administration of former Governor Gbenga Daniel commenced the agro-cargo project in Iperu-Remo in Ogun East, but could not complete the project conceived to support the state’s agricultural production.
Veteran Fuji artiste, Wasiu Ayinde, popularly known as Kwam1, has given reason he can never run for any political office.
KWAM 1 who is the first Mayegun of Yoruba Land, speaking at an event, titled “FUJI-Opera”, held at Alliance Francaise, Mike Adenuga Centre, Victoria Island, Lagos, said his decision not to run for any political office was based on his hatred for “promise and fail” attitudes.
According to him, he does not want to make hefty promises to gain votes only to fail the electorates due to unforeseen factors.
Few months ago, KWAM 1 assaulted a broadcaster named Wole Sorunke in Ogun State, leading to calls for him to be stripped off his title.
