Dayo Adewole, son of the immediate past Minister for health, Prof. Isaac Adewole, has been kidnapped by gunmen.
Report say Dayo Adewole was kidnapped around 6pm yesterday by the gunmen while he was on his farm in Iroko, Afijio Local Government, Oyo State.
The gunmen kidnapped him leaving behind the staff who were with him on the farm.
A source said, ” The villagers were alerted by the staff who survived the ordeal. Local hunters were mobilised by the Oniroko of Iroko.
“The hunters were said to have located the car of the abductors along the road to Iware village near Iroko.
“But they are yet to locate Dayo’s whereabouts. It was suspected that the kidnappers might have changed their vehicle following persistent announcement on radio after Oniroko had raised the alarm on air.”
Reacting to the news, a Federal Ministry of Health official said: ” We are in sad mood over the abduction. Dayo was a graduate of agriculture and he opted for farming.
“He has been managing his farm peacefully in Iroko until he was abducted by some gunmen on Tuesday.”
