A Lebanese national was reportedly abducted in the ancient city of Ibadan in Oyo state.
The Lebanese, identified as Mr. S. Sakalawi was kidnapped at gunpoint on Tuesday, August 19, 2014 at about 9:30 pm.
Mr. Sakalawi, who is the general manager of Black Horse Industries Limited was kidnapped at the factory complex situated along Old Lagos Road in Podo area of the Oyo state capital, Ibadan.
The Nation reports:
The gunmen, who stormed the factory in a silver coloured Honda Accord car, were said to have escaped security check by driving closely behind the car of a female member of staff as she drove into the compound.
Sakalawi, it was learnt, was also accidentally driving behind the abductors.
As the three cars entered the compound, the female staff was said to have started shouting at the security men for allowing the gunmen into the compound without insisting on knowing their identity and mission.
As soon as they sighted Sakalawi alighting from his car, the sources said that the gunmen pounced on him and bundled him into their car and drove off.
The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Mrs. Olabisi Clet-Ilobanafor, later confirmed the incident.
