A cocoa merchant at Supare Akoko, Idowu Shaba, has
reportedly killed two of his abductors after they fell
asleep in their den.
Shaba made a miraculous escape last Thursday when
his abductors slept off.
It was gathered Shaba was abducted on his way to
Idoani for a church programme along with others in a
forest between Afo and Idoani.

The abductors took him and a lady to their den inside
the bush and tied their hands.
A ransom of N10 million was demanded from their
families before they would be released.
A source said: “Shaba pretended to be in deep asleep
and that must have made his abductors also fall
asleep.
“Shaba seized the opportunity to carry their weapons
and used their sharp cutlasses to kill two of them and
wounded another who ran away

“He took the abductors Ak-47 rifle, cutlasses and other
dangerous weapons in their possession and also
rescued the other lady in their den.
“The rifles had police inscriptions.”
Ondo Police spokesman, DSP Fumilayo Odunlami,
however, denied Shaba killed the kidnappers.
She said Shaba told police operatives during debriefing
that he escaped when his abductors were sleeping.
