It was said that the kidnappers forcefully dragged him into a nearby bush, shooting sporadically into the air to frighten residents and deter them from attempting to intervene.
The abductors, it was gathered, did not come with a vehicle but whisked away the victim on foot along the bush path.
Security operatives have reportedly launched a rescue operation to locate the victim and bring the perpetrators to Justice.
As of the time of filing this report, the whereabouts of Umar remained unknown, while details of possible ransom demands or communication from the abductors were not immediately available.
Efforts to reach the Spokesperson of the Police in Ogun State, DSP Oluseyi Babaseyi, proved abortive as he was not picking up his WhatsApp calls or messages. (The Guardian)
