Wole Agboola, a farmer who was kidnapped in Oyo, has been killed by his captors despite collecting N2 million ransom from his family.
It was said that six armed men dressed in military camouflage had abducted the University of Ibadan graduate on his fish farm located at Nagbede village via Aba-odo in the state on December 28, 2020.
However, his decomposing remains were recovered from the bush in Aba-Odo on January 11, 2021, by the police, a few miles from where he was abducted.
Brother of the deceased, Olakunle Agboola, who is said to be a journalist, was quoted as saying that his brother was killed and his body found 10 days after the ransom was paid.
“My brother, Wole Agboola was killed after a huge ransom was paid and we later found his body inside the bush near Aba Odo yesterday (Monday) at 6pm just a bit close to where he was abducted,” he was quoted to have said.
One Olaniyan Alphonso, a friend of the deceased, took to Facebook to mourn him.
Alphonso lamented that the country failed Agboola.
“Hmmm we met on this street, He became my customer and then a friend. We’ve met a couple of times, we discuss business, a man full of ideas… I was to attend his father’s burial in July but distance and covid, perhaps it would have been a great moment together. Sad Shocked! Prayed, paid and yet killed! Sad! We failed him! the system do; we are all a party to this! Engr. Seyi Makinde! This is not NorthEast, what is going on!? Why!? Enough! God! Rest in peace my brother, Agboola Oluwole we failed you!” he wrote.
