Tension has gripped residents of Olojuoro in Oluyole Local Government Area following the alleged abduction of three workers at a concrete block factory in the early hours of Friday.
According to local sources, suspected gunmen reportedly stormed the factory premises at dawn, seized the workers, and fled to an unknown destination. The identities of the victims had not been officially confirmed at the time of filing this report, and it remains unclear whether contact has been established with their families.
The incident has heightened anxiety across nearby communities, with residents expressing concern over rising insecurity in parts of Oyo State. Witnesses said the attackers struck swiftly, leaving little opportunity for resistance before escaping the area.
Security operatives are believed to have been alerted, and preliminary efforts are reportedly underway to locate the abducted workers and track down the perpetrators. However, authorities have yet to release an official statement confirming operational details.
Kidnapping has remained a persistent security challenge in parts of Oyo State, particularly in rural and semi-urban areas. Previous incidents in the wider Oluyole axis have prompted calls for strengthened surveillance and community-based security initiatives. Local authorities have previously stated that enhanced collaboration with security agencies is critical to curbing criminal activity in the area.
Residents are urging security agencies to intensify patrols and intelligence gathering to prevent further attacks and ensure the safe return of the victims.
