Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Eight out of 25 choristers from the Christ Apostolic Church, CAC, Oke-Igan, Akure, Ondo State capital, who were kidnapped by gunmen, have escaped from their captors.<\/p>\n

The Commander of the Ondo State Security Network, popularly known as the Amotekun Corps, Adetunji Adeleye, revealed this while confirming the abduction of the choir members.<\/p>\n

According to Adeleye, the victims escaped while they were being forcefully taken into the forest by the armed men in the Owo\/Ose axis of the state.<\/p>\n

The remaining victims, however, are still being held captive, a development which the Amotekun commander said has prompted a swift response from the security agencies in the state.<\/p>\n

He said that the Police Anti-Kidnapping Unit, the Amotekun Corps and the Nigerian Army, have launched a joint comprehensive search operation to locate and rescue the kidnapped victims.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe primary objective is to track down the kidnappers and secure the safe release of the remaining captives.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Police spokesperson in the state added, \u201cEight victims have been rescued.<\/p>\n

\u201cEffort is on to rescue others unhurt. The rescued victims said they are members of CAC Oke Igan, Akure.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey were on their way to a burial wake. On getting to Ajagbale via Elegbeka on the Ifon\/Owo Motorway, they were accosted by five unknown gunmen who shot sporadically and forcefully took them into the bush.\u201d<\/p>\n
