2 Chinese expatriates kidnapped in Ogun

Some unknown gunmen kidnapped two Chinese expatriates, identified as Chen Wenguang and Liang Ding, in the Kémta/Abule-Owu area along Onigbedu Road in Ogun State.
Thediscovererng.com reports on Monday that the two were abducted on Sunday when they left the company to visit their friends.
A police source, who was not authorised to speak on behalf of the command, informed our correspondent that Wenguang and Ding were affiliated with the Good One Carton Company situated in the area.
“Wenguang and Ding left the company on their own, without notifying security, including the police and military assigned to the company, nor did they inform the company itself.
“They mentioned to a few people that they were heading to Kémta Village, about a kilometre away from the company, to visit some friends,” the source said.
The spokesperson for the state command, Omolola Odutola, confirmed the incident to our correspondent on Monday, stating that the kidnappers had contacted the company to demand a ransom for their release.
She said, “The company’s security supervisor reported that one of the expatriates called to inform him that Wenguang and Ding had been kidnapped and that the kidnappers were demanding money in exchange for their release.
“Our operatives in the Ewekoro Division, with the assistance of local vigilantes, military personnel from the Social Orientation and Safety Corps, local hunters, and other security groups, thoroughly searched the entire Kémta Village forest for the duo but were unable to find them.”
She said that efforts to secure the release of the duo were ongoing.
The victims were later released after being held captive by their abductors for three days.
