Suspected kidnappers have demanded ₦500 million for the release of Adedoja Hannah, a recent graduate of the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta (FUNAAB), and three other people abducted on Tuesday night from a farm along the Akintobi–Alabata axis of Abeokuta, Ogun State.
The gunmen invaded the farm — RagerPablo Farms, Akintobi — where the victims were working, opening fire on a vehicle shortly after the gate was opened. The four victims are three farm workers, including Hannah, a 2026 graduate of Agricultural Administration, and a driver. The identities of the other three have not been published.
The Students' Union Government of FUNAAB disclosed the ransom demand in an update on Thursday, saying the abductors had given the victims' associates 24 hours to produce the money, with further communication expected on or before 10 p.m. on Wednesday. That deadline has passed with no reported release.
Hannah was last seen on Tuesday and her phone has been switched off since. The incident was reported to security agencies on Tuesday; Ogun State Police spokesperson DSP Oluseyi Babaseyi confirmed the abduction and said operatives are working to rescue the victims.
