Gunmen suspected to be kidnappers have struck again as they abducted three members of the Deeper Christian Life Ministry in the Akure North Local Government Area of Ondo State.

The victims were kidnapped while on their way from a Bible study session at the Kasemola axis of Ogbese in the Akure North Local Government Area of the state.

According to sources, the kidnappers had waited for the victims before attacking them, after which they were whisked into the bush.

The abduction of the victims was confirmed by one of the members of the church, who craved anonymity in a message stating, “Good morning, beloved. Kindly pray along with us. Three of our members were kidnapped yesterday (Monday) after Bible study at Kasemola inside the Ogbese axis.

“Members of the church are seeking divine intervention to secure the release of the kidnapped members. The case has been reported to the police and Amotekun Corps in the state.”

Meanwhile, one of the sources disclosed that the kidnappers had made contact, demanding a ransom of N5 million for the release of the abducted victims.

When contacted, the Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Olayinka Ayanlade, stated that security operatives have been deployed to the community.

Ayanlade emphasised that the security personnel are already combing bushes and forests in the community to track down the kidnappers and secure the release of the victims.
