14-year old boy escapes kidnappers grip in Ondo State

A 14-year-old boy, Marvelous Ayomide Ogunjolu, has recounted his harrowing experience after escaping from gunmen suspected to be kidnappers in Ondo State, Nigeria.

Ayomide was abducted while running an errand for his father in Owo town and was taken on a terrifying journey by his captors.

According to reports, the kidnappers drove Ayomide from Owo town to Akure, then through Ondo town, and finally to Ore.

It is believed that they were planning to take him to Edo State. However, Ayomide’s bravery and quick thinking led to his escape.

Ayomide told Vanguard that he was able to escape after crying for help when a police patrol car passed by the area where he was being held.

In a fit of panic, the kidnappers dropped him from the vehicle and fled the scene.

He said;“My father sent me to buy toothpaste in the afternoon. On my way back from the shop where I bought the toothpaste, I saw some men and they asked me to follow them.

“They warned me not to shout or they will kill me with a gun. I was afraid. So, I went with them, because I didn’t want them to kill me.

“All along, I was crying. They drove through Akure to Ondo and later to Ore. They came back to Ondo on Thursday. I was in the car, when I saw a police car coming and blowing sirens. So, I started shouting for help.

“The kidnappers were afraid and they drove off to a street, where they dropped me and they fled. When I asked passersby for the name of the street, I was told it is called Akinjagunla in Ondo town. I want to call my daddy to tell him that I am in Ondo now.”
