A businessman and farmer Olanrewaju Oyeleye tells his painful experience in the hands of the kidnappers who kidnapped him on his way to his farm, located in Abo-Ashakin, the northern local government area of Akruel, Oto State.
While talking to the newspaper in Nordo State over the weekend, Oyeli revealed that he was kidnapped the same day his wife gave birth to twins. A moment should be full of joy, but it is covered up by horror.

He tells how the attackers of his identified as armed Fulani herder ambushed him and his farm manager at about 10:30 a.m. recently.
“I was driving when I suddenly realized that the road was blocked by five or six armed personnel wielding AK-47 rifles.”
“They shouted I stopped, but I tried to reverse. They fired in my car before I reacted further. The gunshots were ruthless and I lost the number of times they fired.
“Realizing that I couldn’t escape, I eventually surrendered. The kidnapper dragged me and my companions into the dense forest, forcing us to walk all night to an unknown place.
According to him, his kidnappers claimed they had internal information about his financial situation and asked for ransom as a ransom.
They caused him to be cruel assault when he begged him not to have that much money.
“The kidnappers call themselves the ‘mafia’ and they boast that they are not afraid of anyone, and even have no army.”
Oyeleye and his captives eavesdropped on the kidnappers and called some, including one named “Alhaji” to arrange supplies and discuss more purchases of weapons.
Shockingly, he discovered that locals were helping criminals. The supplies were transported through motorcycles to designated points in the forest, and the kidnappers collected them.
He kept saying excitedly: “They don’t operate in isolation. They have a network and a godfather.
“Yesterday, when I came home, I was scared. Today, when I walked outside, I was still scared. If they could kidnap me during the day, what would happen at night?” he sighed.
He called on governments at all levels, especially the federal government, to overhaul safe buildings, to equip institutions with modern technology and to strengthen community policing, even if he advocated swift justice, that the guilty abductors enjoyed without fines would only be timid.
“After several days of hunger, my kidnappers only provided water once, which was not suitable for human consumption, these people were my family who managed to negotiate the ransom with a ransom of 25 million that had been delivered to Ise-Ekiti, which revealed his shocking distance from Abo-Ashakin, Oba Ile, Oba Ile, Oba ile, Oba Ile, Oba ile, Oba ile, Oba ile, Oba ile, Oba ile, through the forest, revealed.
