Gunmen kidnap four-year-old boy

Gunmen on Monday abducted a four-year-old boy, Stephen Kanu, in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital.
The abductors were said to have stormed the residence of the victim at Laderin Estate, Abeokuta and whisked him away. It was gathered that the incident occurred about 5pm when the boy was busy playing with the family dog at their home.
According to witnesses, the mother of the boy was busy with house chores when the incident occurred. While narrating their ordeal, the parents of the boy, Dr and Mrs Mucipay Kanu, said the gunmen pretended to be visitors when they came. According to them, the suspects knocked the gate while Stephen was playing with the dog and he rushed to open it. It was gathered that the kidnappers seized the boy and immediately took him into a waiting commercial car which was parked outside the house.
As the suspects sped off in their unmarked vehicle, neighbours immediately pursued them through Moshood Abiola Way, a few kilometres away from the scene of the abduction. However, the kidnappers allegedly shot sporadically into the air to scare away those pursuing them.
