Two Chinese nationals, Chen Wenguang and Liang Ding, were kidnapped on Monday in the Kemta/Abule-Owu area along Onigbedu Road in Ogun State, Nigeria.
The victims, who are affiliated with Good One Carton Company, were abducted while visiting friends without any security detail.
According to the Ogun State police spokesperson, Omolola Odutola, "The company’s security supervisor reported that one of the expatriates called to inform him that Wenguang and Ding had been kidnapped and that the kidnappers were demanding money in exchange for their release."
The incident has prompted a coordinated search effort involving local vigilantes, military personnel from the Social Orientation and Safety Corps, local hunters, and other security groups. Despite an extensive search of the Kemta Village forest, the victims remain missing.
Odutola noted, “Our operatives in the Ewekoro Division, with the assistance of local vigilantes, military personnel from the Social Orientation and Safety Corps, local hunters, and other security groups, thoroughly searched the entire Kémta Village forest for the duo but were unable to find them.” She added that efforts are ongoing to secure their release.
