A building contractor identified as Engr. Adewale Akindehinde was on Saturday, December 5, abducted by some unknown men in Ijebu Ode, Ogun state.
Also, abducted alongside the contractor was his wife, whose name could not be ascertained as at the time of filling this report.
The incident occurred near his residence, located at Iwesi town, around Imowo, (cow market) in Ijebu North East local government area of Ogun state.
A family source, who pleaded anonymity told our correspondent that the man was later released that night but the kidnappers went away with his car and wife.

The source confirmed that the kidnappers have contacted the man demanding a ransom of N10 million before his wife can be released.
According to the source: “Engr and his wife left home around 7:00 pm to get something and left their baby with his mother in law. Unknowingly,they were been trailed by their abductors. They were kidnapped and the people who took them dropped Engr by the roadside while his wife was taken away with his car by the men.
“The kidnappers have not put a call across to him, asking him to cough out N10 million as ransom to be paid before his wife would be released.
This is too much,where do they expect him to see such huge amount of money. Where is the money,no work,we all know what is going on in this country now, so, we are appealing to these people to release this woman as her baby has missed her a lot.”
