Suspected kidnappers have abducted Abdulasis Sanni, the son of the Chief Imam of Ode Omi, a boundary community between Lagos and Ogun waterside.
Sanni had just returned from Saudi Arabia where he studied Arabic.
Our correspondent learnt that the assailants shot at two other sons of the imam, as they stole a speedboat reportedly belonging to the Ogun State Police Command.
The gunmen were reported to have also abducted two brothers, Jelili and Bamidele Adams.
Jelili, a tailor, was sewing clothes for his customers for the Eid-el-Kabir celebration when the assailants struck.
According to reports, some police operatives were currently firing gunshots in a bid to rescue the victims.
