Gunmen suspected to be kidnappers have abducted two little girls, who are in nursery and kindergarten classes in Akure, the Ondo State capital.

Confirming the incident, the state police spokesman, DSP Funmilayo Odunlami, said the abduction took place in Leo Area of Akure on Friday night.

DSP Odunlami said upon their return from an outing at about 8 p.m., the mother parked the car in front of her house and went out to open the gates leaving the two kids in the vehicle.

“Another car with three occupants suddenly drove up to her; some of the occupants collected her car keys and drove her car away with the kids inside.

“The anti-kidnapping section of the police is already on the trail of the assailants to rescue the two kids and recover the car,’’ DSP Odunlami said.
