Gunmen suspected to be kidnappers have abducted the 6-year-old twin daughters of the Owalobo of Obbo Ayegunle, Oba Samuel Adelodun in Ekiti Local Government Area of Kwara State.

The children, Taiwo and Kehinde, were kidnapped alongside some palace officials around 6:30pm on Thursday, October 14, along Osi/Obbo Ayegunle road.

The personal aides have been identified as the monarch’s driver, Kunle, his security aide, Lawrence Abiodun, and a female palace maid, Bukunmi Akanbi.

It was gathered that the driver had gone to pick the twins from their school in Omu-Aran and was heading from Osi to Obo Ayegunle in Kwara when the gunmen struck.

The monarch’s Sienna vehicle registered as “Owalobo of Obbo Ayegunle” that was conveying the victims was found abandoned on the road.

It is unclear whether the abductors had contacted the monarch or any member of the family for ransom.

Spokesperson of the State Police Command, Ajayi Okasanmi, who confirmed the incident said the command will collaborate with other security agencies and local vigilantes to rescue the victims.

“The Command wishes to inform members of the public of a reported case of kidnap received from Oba Samuel Adelodun, the Owalobo of Obbo Ayegunle in Ekiti Local government area of the state while on transit from Osi to Obbo Ayegunle,” he stated.
