Suspected herdsmen on Tuesday night were said to have attacked travelers along Osogbo/Ibokun road, killing one unidentified passenger and abducting several others.
According to an eyewitness, the incident happened around 7:30 pm around Aje Bamidele village in Obokun Local Government Area, Osun State.
“We heard several gunshots and we saw that vehicles plying the road were making U-turn. I got to know that they killed one traveler while they abducted others,” the village said.
Confirming the incident, Field Commander of Osun State Amotekun Corps, Comrade Amitolu Shittu, said one person was killed by the gunmen while they abducted yet-to-be-known numbers of travelers.
“We saw pellets of AK-47 used at the scene of the crime. We are still combing the forest to rescue those that were kidnapped.”
