The Oyo State Police Command has confirmed the abduction of two foreigners in the state.
The two foreigners, who are Indians, were kidnapped last Wednesday at a pharmaceutical firm near Toll Gate on the Lagos-Ibadan expressway.
They were said to be driving out of the company’s premises when the kidnappers, who were trailing them, opened fire on their vehicle’s tyres, which forced the vehicles to a halt.
The Oyo Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Olugbenga Fadeyi, confirmed the abduction in a statement made available to newsmen on Sunday.

Fadeyi said police officers are on the trail of the criminals, but did not say if the kidnappers had made contact with the families.
He, however, urged expatriates to be vigilant during this period. “Modalities have been emplaced while concerted effort intensified to rescue them from their captor(s).
“Likewise, all expatriates are advised to be vigilant and be watchful especially during this period, while security agencies should be alerted when they see any suspicious movement around their facilities,” he said
