Two Chinese expatriates, Chen Wenguang and Liang Ding, have been reportedly abducted in the Kémta/Abule-Owu area along Onigbedu Road in Ogun State.
New Telegraph gathered that the two were abducted on Monday around 1:45 pm on Sunday when they left the company to visit their friends.
A police source, who was not authorised to speak on behalf of the command, informed our correspondent that Wenguang and Ding were affiliated with the Good One Carton Company situated in the area.
“Wenguang and Ding left the company on their own, without notifying security, including the police and military assigned to the company, nor did they inform the company itself.
“They mentioned to a few people that they were heading to Kémta Village, about a kilometre away from the company, to visit some friends,” the source said.
