Two foreigners were, on Wednesday, kidnapped in Ibadan by unknown gunmen at a pharmaceutical firm near Toll Gate on the Lagos-Ibadan expressway, according to reliable sources.
According to Newspeakonline, the foreigners were said to be driving out of the company’s premises when the kidnappers, who were trailing them, opened fire on their vehicle’s tyres which forced the vehicles to a halt.
The two foreigners were reportedly robbed of their cash and other possessions before they were whisked away by their abductors.
The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) in Oyo State SP Olugbenga Fadeyi confirmed the incident, saying the Oyo State Police Command was on the trail of the criminals.
A source told Newspeakonline that the kidnappers were yet to contact relations of the kidnap victims for ransom as at Saturday.
