Gunmen who Friday evening attacked a family travelling along Ewu–Ayetoro Ekiti Road in Ekiti State, killing a man and abducting his wife and daughter, have contacted the family, asking a ransom of N500m.
The victims were said to in the state for a burial ceremony in Ewu Ekiti and were attacked while driving along the road.
A source said gunshots fired by the attackers made the driver of the vehicle lost control and rammed into the bush.
One of the occupants was hit with a stray bullet and died on the spot, he said.
Police spokesperson in Ekiti State, Sunday Abutu, confirmed the incident and said one suspect has been arrested.
Abutu said based on a tip-off, the police have arrested one Akinola Femi, who was alleged to be one of the informants to the kidnappers terrorising the Ido/Osi area of the state.
“Femi is currently being interrogated and investigated for further findings,” he said.
