The kidnappers have contacted the families, demanding a ₦100 million ransom for their release. In response, relatives and community members have begun pooling funds to meet the demand, while also urging Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq and security agencies to intervene.

An unverified report suggests another abduction occurred on Monday along the Omu-Aran highway.

Efforts to reach DSP Ejire Adeyemi Toun, spokesperson for the Kwara State Police Command, were unsuccessful at the time of this report.
