In what appears to be an affront on Lagos State Governor, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode, daring kidnappers have struck in his hometown, Epe, taking away seven persons.

A report by Channels Television said that “the victims, five workers of a farm and two members of the Oodua Peoples Congress (OPC), who were recently employed as security personnel, were abducted in the early hours of Tuesday, while on the way to the farm.”

The report quoted a source as disclosing that the victims were whisked away by heavily armed men.

“Igbodu community which has played host to medium and large scale farming in the last few years, has witnessed several kidnap cases, in which the abductors demand a ransom before releasing any of the victims,” the report said.
