Four Chinese railway workers kidnapped in Ogun

Four Chinese railway workers have been kidnapped by some gunmen at Alaagba village in Ogun State.
The Chinese abducted on Wednesday, it was learnt, are employees of the China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation handling the Lagos-Ibadan standard gauge railway project.
About eight kidnappers dressed in black caftan reportedly stormed the site of the rail project at Adeaga/Alaagba in the Odeda Local government Area of Ogun State on Wednesday and took the Chinese workers away.
They also reportedly killed a policeman while struggling to abduct the Chinese workers.
Some members of the Oodua People’s Congress were reportedly mobilised to comb the forest and other areas for the kidnappers and the captives but they could not achieve any result.
The corpse of the policeman killed had been evacuated by a team of policemen and men of the Federal Road Sector Corps.
Baale of Alaagba village, Chief Adekunle Olabamiji, confirmed the abduction of the four people.
He said that the gunmen suspected to be Fulani herdsmen had laid ambush in the surrounding forest for the expatriates.
He said it was shocking to witness such an incident even when the railway workers were always guarded by policemen and soldiers.
