Gunmen have kidnapped a mother and her three children in the Ajelete community, Agunjin district, in Ifelodun Local Government Area of Kwara State.

Asonibare said that the abductors have contacted the family demanding N100 million ransom.
“We have already informed the police and the Army both in Kwara and neighbouring Kogi states. Fifteen of our vigilante men are still combing the bushes, but there is no headway yet,” he said.
