Recall that gunmen in Army camouflage have abducted four farmers at the Agric Settlement area in Iseyin-Ipapo Saki road on Saturday.
The incident caused panic in the Iseyin community, as the identity of the four kidnapped farmers were yet to be ascertained.
Some farmers, who escaped being abducted, said the gunmen numbering about ten were dressed in army camouflage with sophisticated weapons.
They stressed that the four abducted farmers were working at a big poultry farm situated within the settlement.
It was further gathered that after the incident on Saturday night, a team of Amotekun men, soldiers and policemen were combing the large expanse of land of the settlement towards Okeho, an area where the kidnappers headed with their victims.
Earlier, the chairman of the Farm Settlement Association, one Adepoju, who confirmed the incident, said the search team were still in pursuit of the kidnappers towards the Okeho forest.
He said he could not say much until the search party returned from the forest.
He said, “It is very unfortunate that this is happening in our area, the government asked us to farm and we are on the farm, the next thing is for kidnappers to be snatching us like chicken.
“Those kidnappers came with sophisticated weapons that our Amotekun men do not have.”
