The gunmen rode on motorcycles, attacked the petrol station, and took away the man whose name is Itakorodo Adebayo.
The Commissioner of Police through a statement signed by the Police Public Relations Officer for the state, Sunday Abutu, said, “A team of police operatives and detectives including the Amotekun Corps and the local hunters have been deployed to rigorously comb the bushes and the forests across the state to ensure the rescue of the victim.
“The Ekiti State Police Command, in addition to the rescue teams deployed, has contacted all the states bordering Ekiti State for possible assistance towards the rescue of the victim and the arrest of the perpetrators.
