Gunmen have kidnapped a pregnant woman in Abeokuta, the capital of Ogun State.
Ogun State Police Command spokesman, Omolola Odutola, confirmed the incident, stating it was reported by the woman’s husband, Ogunbunmi Lateef, via her X account.
“One Ogunbunmi Lateef of Oke Lantoro reported that his pregnant wife, due for delivery, left home for State Hospital Ijaiye Abeokuta,” Odutola said.
The victim, identified as Mrs. Rahmatullah Ogunbunmi, was kidnapped on Thursday by unidentified armed men while en route to the hospital.
Lateef received a WhatsApp message notifying him of his wife’s abduction, leaving him devastated. A source close to the family shared that Lateef was in shock, having expected news of his wife’s successful delivery rather than her kidnapping.
“It’s a distressing situation. We are all praying for divine intervention and hoping the police, NSCDC, and military will join forces to rescue her safely,” the source said.
