The Principal, Joshua Adeyemi; his vice, Ifedayo Yesufu, and the N-Power teachers were abducted on Thursday afternoon while travelling in a Toyota Corolla car along Auga-Ise Road in Akoko East Local Government Area.

Meanwhile, some residents of Akoko particularly, the border towns of Ajowa, Isua, Akunu, Auga, Ikakumo, Igashi and Eriti have called on the government to beef up security in the areas due to the upsurge in crime rate as a result of the removal of military checkpoints from roads in the state.
