Gunmen have abducted the Medical Director of the Ondo State General Hospital, Ido Ani, in the Ose Local Government Area of Ondo State, Dr Olufemi Adeogun. The hoodlums also abducted two other employees of the hospital.
It was gathered that the victims were abducted on the bad portion of the Ipele-Ido Ani Road on Monday and their whereabouts remained unknown. A source said the driver of the vehicle conveying the victims was shot in the arm while escaping from the scene and was later rushed to an undisclosed hospital for treatment.
The source said the hoodlums had yet to contact the families of the victims for possible ransom. When contacted, the Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Mr Tee-Leo Ikoro, confirmed the incident, adding that the command had already deployed men to the forest in search of the victims.
“We are already combing the forest and I want to assure you that the victims will be rescued very soon,” he stated.
