Kidnappers suspected to be armed herdsmen have abducted nine surveyors in Ondo State in a fresh wave of kidnappings rocking the region.

This development has sparked protests, as demonstrators stormed Akure, the Ondo State capital.

The abduction reportedly took place at Owode Ilu-Abo in Akure South Local Government Area. The victims, all surveyors, are said to be natives of Akure.

Carrying placards, protesting women blocked the popular Oba Adesida Road in Akure, demanding action from authorities.

According to The Nation, Comfort Afolabi, a sister of one of the kidnapped victims, revealed that the nine surveyors were abducted last week.
She further stated that "The kidnappers had demanded N50million before they would begin negotiations for their release."
She added that "the kidnappers have now placed the ransom at N100 million before they will release their victims."

Kidnappings have been on the rise in Ondo State. Last week, a farmer and his manager were abducted while returning from their farm in the Oba Ile area.

SaharaReporters previously reported that no fewer than 20 people were reportedly killed after bandits invaded and sacked four communities in the Akure North Local Government Area of Ondo State.



The affected communities which include; Aba Alajido, Aba Sunday, Aba Pastor, and Ademekun were attacked on Sunday midnight, forcing residents to flee for safety.



Sources had suggested the death toll could be much higher, with one resident claiming that over 40 people may have been killed, while many others remain missing.



“The attack started last Monday, but the most severe assault happened on Friday night. The bandits struck while people were asleep, opening fire indiscriminately. Many ran into the bush, while some were not so lucky,” the resident recounted.



He added, “Security forces arrived on Sunday and recovered some bodies, but many are still missing. If they search further, more corpses will likely be found in the bush.”



The Ondo State Police Public Relations Officer, Funmi Odunlami, confirmed the attack, stating that an investigation had been launched and officers had been deployed to restore order.



“The matter was reported on Saturday that Aba Pastor community was attacked. The command immediately swung into action to ensure normalcy and to track down the perpetrators,” she said.



The Regent of Ademekun Community, Princess Adelowo Adekemisola, revealed that 14 people were killed in her community alone.

I hope the FG and state government will listen to them before it turns bloody. Some miscreants cannot be hiding in our forest, kidnap people, enter into the forest again and when caught, they will be free after a while to continue with their trade.

And the cowards will still come here to attack Biafrans instead of facing their terrorist co head slammers killing and miming them.

Yep they will still blame Igbos because only God knows why these cowards believe unconsciously they are mentally enslaved to igbos … Something abnormal happens to you which problem is what a basic government populated by your tribe is supposed to solve easily but instead of to complain to your Emilokan awalokan Tribalism government you start crying to Igbos that have not been in power since 1966. Is that normal?

Check out these monikers... Interestingly, they are Northerners. During Buhari's istration, they were attacking ipob and igbos, opening threads about them. In 2023, they switched to Atiku, ing him to take over power from Buhari but as soon as Tinubu won, they started attacking Yoruba and come back to asslicking igbos grin grin
Go through their topics and see for yourself.

Likely the same person operating all the s because the pattern is the same. This shows how cunny and hypocritical these northerners can be. Keep it up, let's see who have the last laugh. You don lose in 2023, we await 2027 grin
