Gunmen Abduct Businesswoman, Staff in Ogun Highway Ambush, Demand N100m Ransom

Tension has gripped residents and commuters in Ogun State following the brazen abduction of a businesswoman, Mrs. Olayinka Oremade, and one of her staff members by heavily armed assailants. The incident, which reportedly occurred around the Alapako/Oyebola axis along the busy transit corridor, saw the assailants intercept their targets before whisking them away into the surrounding forest reserves.

Family sources revealed that the captors subsequently established communication with relatives, demanding a staggering N100 million as ransom to secure their release. The exorbitant demand has plunged the family into deep distress, as they struggle to comprehend how such an astronomical sum could be raised amid pressing economic realities.

Speaking to local contacts, representatives of the distraught family urgently appealed to the Ogun State Police Command, intelligence agencies, and the state government to deploy tactical search-and-rescue teams to track down the criminal gang and bring the victims home unharmed. Unconfirmed accounts indicate that security operatives have initiated preliminary combing operations in the contiguous border forests.
