Some unknown persons have kidnapped the Regent of Akungba-Akoko, Princess Mojisola Omosowon. She was forcefully picked up by the gunmen on Wednesday morning along the Owo-Akure road in Ondo State.
Princess Omosowon was said to be on her way to the inaugural lecture of the Federal University of Technology Akure, FUTA, in Akure, the state capital, when she was kidnapped by the armed hoodlums.
It was not certain if she was being trailed from her palace, but our correspondent gathered that she was ambushed and taken from her car to her abductors’ awaiting vehicle, who drove off immediately.
The gunmen, who were reportedly masked, shot sporadically into the air to scare away travelers on the road as they carried out their operation.
Meanwhile, some youths in the town have taken to the streets to protest the abduction. They have also blocked some roads in the community.
