The expatriates were said to be working at a mining site located in the town.

During the attack on the expatriates, the police orderly attached to them was reportedly killed.

It was further learnt that one of the expatriates, who attempted to escape, was shot.

He was said to be receiving treatment at Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospital [OAUTH], Ile Ife.

Osun State Police Commissioner, Abiodun Ige, confirmed the incident.

She said,

“I am just returning from the scene. Policemen are combing the bush. Other security men are also working with the police to rescue them.”
