The herder with the identity simply as Oseni, was abducted at Olorunda-Lukosi, Iro in Owode-Egba LGA while grazing his cows.

The corps disclosed that shortly after receiving a distress call on January 20, two suspects, identified as Mohammed Lawal (20), who resides at Sharagi area of Karaoke; and Sarafa Asimiu (25), a resident of Amusa Yusuf house, Oke-Aje, Ibadan, were arrested. They were also accused of stealing the sum of N130,000 and the documents of his motorcycle.
