Gunmen Abduct Ogun Traffic Official On Lagos-Ibadan Expressway
Unknown gunmen have kidnapped an official of the Ogun State Traffic Compliance and Enforcement Corps, Popoola Olasupo, while on his way to his duty post alongside one other member of the corps.
Olasupo was reportedly kidnapped around 6.30 am on Sunday around the Eledumare-Fidiwo axis of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway in the Obafemi-Owode Local Government Area of Ogun State.
A source from TRACE, who did not want his name in print due to the sensitive nature of the matter, confirmed the abduction.
It was further gathered that policemen and some volunteers are currently on the trail of the gunmen.
The source said the gunmen, who emerged from the bush, opened fire on a commercial bus in which the official was travelling and he was the only one abducted.
Efforts to get the reaction of the spokesperson for TRACE, Babatunde Akinbiyi, were unsuccessful as of the time of filing this report.
Akinbiyi did not answer the calls made to his mobile and had not responded to a text message sent to him.
