Gunmen suspected to be kidnappers have abducted the 6-year-old twin daughters of the Owalobo of Obbo Ayegunle in Ekiti Local Government Area of Kwara State, Oba Samuel Adelodun.
The children, Taiwo and Kehinde, were kidnapped alongside some palace officials around 6:30pm on Thursday, October 14, along Osi/Obbo Ayegunle road.
The personal aides have been identified as the monarch’s driver, Kunle, his security aide, Lawrence Abiodun, and a female palace maid, Bukunmi Akanbi.
The victims were said to be heading from Osi to Obo Ayegunle in Kwara when the gunmen struck.
It was gathered that the driver had gone to pick the twins from their school in Omu-Aran.
The monarch’s Sienna vehicle registered as “Owalobo of Obbo Ayegunle” that was conveying the victims was found abandoned on the road.
It is unclear whether the abductors had contacted the monarch or any member of the family for ransom.
