Twins children of an Islamic cleric in Oyo State, Sheikh Taofeeq Akewugbagold, have been kidnapped.
DAILY POST gathered that the two children, a male and a female were kidnapped at gunpoint in Ibadan, the state capital, Saturday night.
Akewugbagold, who disclosed this in a post on his Facebook page in the early hours of Sunday, said the children were kidnapped at gunpoint at his Ojoo residence in Ibadan on Saturday night.
The cleric called on people to assist him in prayers and begged the abductors to have mercy on the mother of the abducted twins who was barren for almost 12 years.
“What a country! My twins children were kidnapped at gun point at my Ojoo residence Ibadan, around 8 pm Saturday, 10 minutes after I left my home for a recording lecture in a studio.
“Everybody should please, for Allah’s sake, assist me in prayer and beg the abductors to please be merciful with me especially their mother who was barren for 12 years. I’m begging, not flexing anything. This is their pictures, help share wide. Oh my God.”
Public Relations Officer of the State Police Command, Olugbenga Fadeyi confirmed the abduction.
Fadeyi in a reply to an SMS sent to him by DAILY POST said, “Yes, there was an abduction of Akewugbagold twins last night.
“Efforts intensified, arrests were made and currently assisting the police in investigations”.
