Some unknown gunmen have reportedly kidnapped a prominent Islamic leader in Ondo State, Alhaji Ibrahim Bodunde Oyinlade.
It was gathered that Oyinlade, the Chief Imam of the Uso community, a town in Owo Local Government Area, was abducted at Asolo Farm Camp, Uso, at around 3:00 pm on Saturday.
According to SaharaReporters, a family member confirmed the incident, indicating that they reported to the police when Bodunde-Oyinlade did not return home by 2 pm and calls to his mobile phone were not answered.
“The kidnappers have contacted the family but are yet to demand ransom,” the source reportedly said on condition of anonymity.
Reacting, the Police spokesperson in the state, SP Olufunmilayo Odunlami-Omisanya, said policemen and vigilantes were combing the forest in search of the Chief Imam.
Odunlami-Omisanya told reporters that the victim’s car and mobile phone were found at the farm.
