A man from Ondo State who was abducted by armed men and taken into a forest in Osun State has recounted his frightening experience after regaining his freedom.
The victim, whose identity has yet to be disclosed, reportedly fell into the hands of gunmen who whisked him away to an undisclosed location in the forest.
His rescue has brought relief to his family and loved ones, while his account has drawn attention to the dangers faced by residents and travellers in areas affected by kidnapping.
Recounting his ordeal, the victim described the experience as distressing, highlighting the fear and uncertainty he endured while in the custody of his abductors.
The incident has once again raised concerns over the activities of armed kidnappers who use forested areas as hideouts to evade security operatives and hold victims captive.
Osun and Ondo states have recorded several kidnapping incidents in recent years, prompting security agencies and local security outfits to intensify efforts to tackle criminal activities along major roads and in vulnerable communities.
The successful rescue of the Ondo indigene offers a measure of relief amid ongoing concerns about the safety of residents and travellers across the South-West.
Authorities have continued to urge members of the public to remain vigilant and report suspicious movements to security agencies to support efforts to combat kidnapping and other violent crimes.
