The twin children of a former chairman of Oyo State Pilgrims’ Welfare Board (Muslim wing), Sheik Taofeek Akeugbagold, have been reportedly kidnapped.
It was learnt that the children, a boy and a girl, who were abducted at the weekend were born after 12 years of childlessness.
Akeugbagold who took to his facebook page wrote: “What a country, my twin children were kidnapped at gunpoint at my Ojoo residence, Ibadan, around 8pm Saturday, 10 minutes after I left my home to record lectures in a studio.
“Everybody should please, for Allah’s sake, assist me in prayer and begging the abductors to please be mercy with me especially their mother who was barren for 12 years before having the babies.
“Am begging, not flexing muscle or anything. This is their pictures, help share wide. Oh my God!
The mother of the kidnapped twins also wept uncontrollably on the husband’s facebook page pleading for their release.
She stressed that they stayed for 12 years after marriage before she got the babies via IVF.
Meanwhile, spokesman for the state police command, Mr. Gbenga Fadeyi, said four persons had been arrested for their alleged involvement in the abduction.
