Gunmen suspected to be kidnappers, on Tuesday evening, reportedly abducted a driver of a commercial vehicle and some passengers along Akure/Ikere Ekiti road. It was gathered that the commercial driver identified as Akinde Felix, was driving towards Akure from Ado Ekiti when the hoodlums who had blocked the roads stopped him and reportedly took him and the passengers away. Tribune Online learnt that the vehicle which was left opened in the middle of the road attracted members of the public who raised the alarm. While confirming the development, the State Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Femi Joseph, said no passengers were abducted alongside the driver. Meanwhile, the NYSC in the state, on Wednesday, debunked the news that some corps member in the state have been kidnapped.
