A four-year-old boy identified as Oluwadarasimi Omojola has been reportedly abducted by gunmen along Itaji/Ijelu Ekiti in Oye LGA of Ekiti state

It was gathered that Boluwaji Omojola, father of the boy, escaped from the gunmen during the attack, but sustained injuries and is currently receiving medical treatment.

He said the father, a farmer, sustained injuries inflicted with a cutlass, adding that security operatives and local hunters have been deployed to ensure the safe rescue of the child.

However, Sunday Abutu, spokesman of the Ekiti police command, was yet to confirm the incident as the time of filing this report.
