A traditional ruler in Ajerogun community, located in Obafemi Owode Local Government Area of Ogun State, has urgently called for assistance following the invasion of his community by kidnappers. Chief Nurudeen Salisu detailed the horrifying events to the community, revealing that the ruthless attackers have killed some residents and taken others hostage.
The targeted victim of the kidnappers was allegedly a white man who managed to escape by diving into the river. Though the white man managed to survive this ordeal, the security detail assigned to protect him suffered the loss of one soldier and another sustained injuries during the attempt to shield him.
The attack on Ajerogun community is not an isolated incident, as a similar event had taken place in 2023, prompting the community to significantly enhance their security measures. This latest incident, however, has proven to be a major setback for the community, leaving them in a state of distress and fear.
