Reports revealed that the fully armed kidnappers invaded the monarch’s residence around 10:15pm on Thursday night and whisked him away to an undisclosed destination.

According to information, the gunmen shot sporadically, aiming at the monarch’s door to gain entrance.

The bullets from the gunshot penetrated into the living room after several shots, but no residents of the community could come to the rescue as they were all terrified.

During the act, the occupants of the monarch’s residence refused to willingly open the door. This made the gunmen aim more gunshots at the door.

As of the time of this report, family members disclosed that nobody has contacted them.

Police Public Relations Officer, Ondo State Command, Mrs Funmilayo Odunlami, who confirmed the incident, said it is true, but the details are still unclear.
