A clergyman named Sofiu Amolegbe and his son Aliyu were kidnapped by gunmen on Saturday in Oko-Olowo, Kwara State's Ilorin region.

The cleric's brother, Fasasi, was reportedly shot by the gunmen who broke into the cleric's home to carry out the crime.

His father described the situation, claiming that the kidnappers took his son and grandson to a secret place after believing Fasasi had passed away.

Mr. Amolegbe added that his son, Fasasi was taken to an undisclosed hospital where he had been recovering after the kidnappers left.

Now a N100m ransom is being demanded by the abductors to release  the captives according to the clergyman.

He indicated that, "The kidnappers have gotten in touch with us and are demanding a N100 million ransom even though we don't have the money."

“I am appealing to the state government and men of goodwill to assist us in getting my two sons out of the den of the kidnappers,” the grandfather, he explained.

State police public relations officer, SP Okasanmi Ajayi has also reported that two suspects had been detained in relation to the incident.
