It was gathered that twins of the Islamic cleric, a two- year- old male and female, were kidnapped at gunpoint at his Abatakan area in Ojoo, Ibadan, last Saturday.

However, the two children have not been released as at the time of filing the report.

Akewugbagold, in a telephone conversation with The Nation, confirmed though the family has been contacted by the abductors, they were yet to demand any ransom.

The cleric, who noted about four suspects have been arrested, insisted that those arrested are his workers suspected by the police.

He called on the abductors to release his two children without delay.

“We have been contacted. They have contacted us. We pray that God touch their minds.

“We don’t want to involve the police. I will not like to speak on the ransom.

“Yes, police arrested some people but they are my workers. They are not the abductors. But, we did not suspect anybody.

“I am sorry I can’t speak on ransom. I don’t want to speak on that,” he told our correspondent.
