Iseyin: Reps member charges security operatives to rescue other abducted farmers
A member of the House of Representatives, representing the Iseyin/ Itesiwaju/ Iwajowa/Kajola Federal constituency, Hon. Shina Abiola Peller, charged security agents to rescue the remaining three kidnapped victims in his constituency.
The four farmers were kidnapped with others around Iseyin town on Saturday in Oyo State.
The kidnapped victim who was killed by the kidnappers has been identified as Adeyemi Michael.
The lawmaker has, however, urged the security agents to rescue the remaining three kidnapped victims without wasting more time.
Peller, in a statement on Tuesday, advised the security forces to mobilize in full force to ensure the perpetrators are brought to book and rescue those still in captivity.
“It breaks my heart to learn that four farmers were abducted and one killed in the agricultural settlement area of Iseyin, Oyo State.
“This hits so close to home because Iseyin is my constituent and my hometown.
“I offer my sincere condolences to the family of Adeyemi Michael, one of those abducted, on the tragic death of their son.
“I call on the security forces to mobilize in full force to ensure the perpetrators of this heinous act are brought to book and the remaining three abductees are released alive to restore peace and orderliness in Iseyin,” he said.
