Local police in conjunction with hunters and vigilantes are currently in search some gunmen suspected to be kidnappers .

The gunmen abducted one female soldier and two other women at Onipe village, along the Ijebu-Ode/ Ibadan Road in Oluyole local government area of Ibadan on Monday.

Newsmen learnt that the gunmen emerged from the bush at about 8:20am, shot sporadically and later abducted the three women taking them to an unknown destination.

Those who were kidnapped according to a source were Mrs Okeowo, Mrs Abosede Adebayo and Mrs Bola Ogunrinde.

Mrs Ogunrinde who is said to be a soldier was kidnapped while driving a Toyota RAV-4, with registration number AGL 66 FY.

It was gathered that some of the residents of the area later reported the incident at Idi-Ayunre Division at about 10am.

Oyo State Police command, Public Relations Officer, Adewale Osifeso, when contacted, confirmed the latest abduction to newsmen.
