A farm supervisor has been confirmed dead following gunmen attack on a farm owned by Senator Simeon Suleiman Ajibola in Kwara State.
The deceased has been identified as the farm’s supervisor, Biodun Ajibola.
He is also said to be a relative of the erstwhile legislator who represented Kwara South in the seventh National Assembly.
A source told The Nation that the kidnappers’ move to whisk away one Felix Segun Adeleye, who is the driver attached to the supervisor of the farms, failed after they sighted some motorcyclists coming in their direction.
They abandoned the driver who had been injured in his leg and pursued the motorcyclists. It is not clear if the kidnappers eventually abducted the motorcyclists after giving them a hot chase.
The source said;
“Thank God that Senator Simeon Ajibola was not around. Perhaps their intention was to take him away. But the supervisor in charge of the farms was not lucky as he was killed when the kidnappers invaded the farms.
“Senator Ajibola’s driver attached to the late supervisor was wounded and he is currently in the hospital in Ilorin receiving treatment. The driver told me that they attempted to take him away after killing the supervisor of the farms. But that they abandoned him when they saw some motorcyclists and faced them.
