The Police have confirmed the abduction of two Chinese expatriates in the Kémta/Abule-Owu area along Onigbedu Road in Ogun State.
The victims, Wenguang and Liang Ding were abducted around 1:45 pm on Sunday when they left the company to visit their friends.
A police source who was not authorised to speak on behalf of the command told Punch that Wenguang and Ding were affiliated with the Good One Carton Company situated in the area.
“Wenguang and Ding left the company on their own, without notifying security, including the police and military assigned to the company, nor did they inform the company itself.
“They mentioned to a few people that they were heading to Kémta Village, about a kilometre away from the company, to visit some friends,” the source said.
