Some suspected gunmen have allegedly kidnapped over 10 travellers.
They were kidnapped along the Owo-Ipele-Benin Highway in Ondo State.
Confirming the incident, the state police spokesperson, Funmi Odunlami, stated that seven persons were kidnapped by the assailants.
Sources in Akure, the Ondo State capital, revealed that the travellers were returning from a South-South state and heading to Akure when the gunmen struck.

Odunlami assured the public that further details would be provided as investigations continue.
Meanwhile, it was gathered that the kidnappers have contacted the families of the victims and are demanding ransom for their release.
