Otuyemi, 60, was abducted by the gunmen alongside his son, on Saturday.

According to reports, the gunmen, who came from the creeks in the Epe area, took both of them away to an unknown location.

“Most of us got to know about the abduction on Sunday. The location of the abductors has yet to be known.
