ONDO: Three construction workers abducted in Ikaramu-Akunnu

THE entire Ikaramu-Akunnu Akoko in Akoko North West Local Government Area of the state was gripped by panic following the abduction of three construction workers in the community.

It was gathered that the construction workers, whose identities have not been revealed at the time of filing this report, were working at the ongoing rehabilitation of Ikaramu-Akunnu road when the hoodlums struck and whisked them to an unknown destination.

The incident was said to have happened yesterday’s evening.

The Public Relations Officer of the state police command, Tee-Leo Ikoro, has since confirmed the incident, saying an investigation had commenced into it.

“Our men are already in the area to rescue the victims,” the PPRO stated.

The traditional ruler of Ikaram, Oba Andrew Momodu, in a reaction, confirmed that the workers were kidnapped after they closed for the day’s job.

According to him, the hoodlums struck when the expatriate contractor handling the project had just left with his policemen.

The monarch appealed for more security men to comb the forest for a rescue operation.
