Daredevil Gunmen kill policeman, kidnap Chinese railway workers in Ogun State

Some daredevil gunmen have killed a policeman while abducting four Chinese railway workers on Wednesday in Odeda Local Government Area (LGA) of Ogun State. Spokesperson for the Ogun State Police Command Abimbola Oyeyemi confirmed the incident and identified the abductees as workers on the ongoing Lagos-Ibadan standard gauge railway project

Oyeyemi said: “The Chinese are our railway workers, they are working on our railway terminus construction site. The kidnappers came and it is like they ambushed them. They even killed a policeman that was attached to them, and they kidnapped the Chinese.”

According to sources, some village youths had chased the gunmen into the forests in a bid to rescue the victims, but their efforts did not yield results. The police spokesperson, however, stated that the police were doing their best to ensure the timely release of the kidnapped expatriates. “We are on it. We believe hopefully that we’re going to get them,” he said.
