Kidnapped Ondo Youth Found Dead in Edo State Forest, Community Demands Justice

Abbey was reportedly kidnapped last Thursday while returning to Isua from Ibilo in Edo State by armed men suspected to be herders.

A resident of the community said the assailants intercepted him along the Ondo–Edo boundary and dragged him into the forest and the incident was promptly reported to the police.

Another resident, identified simply as Tunji, disclosed that youths of the community, working with local hunters, combed nearby bushes in a desperate search for Abbey, but their efforts proved futile.
