EX-MINISTER'S SON KIDNAPPED IN OYO STATE

The immediate past Minister of Health, Professor Isaac Adewole's son was on Tuesday evening around 6pm abducted by unknown gunmen.

The incident happened in Dayo's farm in Iroko where he was waylaid at gunpoint near Fiditi in Adijio Local Government Area of Oyo State.

An eye witness said, "The villagers were alerted by the staff who survived the ordeal. Local hunters were mobilised by the Oniroko of Iroko.

“The hunters were said to have located the car of the abductors along the road to Iware village near Iroko.

“But they are yet to locate Dayo’s whereabouts. It was suspected that the kidnappers might have changed their vehicle following persistent announcement on radio after Oniroko had raised the alarm on air.”

A top official of the Federal Ministry of Health said: "We are in sad mood over the abduction. Dayo was a graduate of agriculture and he opted for farming."

“He has been managing his farm peacefully in Iroko until he was abducted by some gunmen on Tuesday.”
