It was a big surprise to many in Akamkpa Local Government Area of Cross River State as dare-devil men wielding sophisticated weapons stormed Obasanjo Farm in the area on Friday and kidnapped 2 foreigners who are top workers in the popular farm.
“They came with a small car and left with a flying boat, the driver of the car hid in the waiting car and there was nobody to pursue them. They were shooting in the air, they came with a taxi, went inside the premises kidnapped the people and dashed inside the river.”
The kidnappers, who shot sporadically to scare away people around the farm, immediately kidnapped the two men and took them to a waiting boat near the seaside without any resistance.
A source said the kidnappers were yet to make demands and that the two victims are from Indonesia and Malaysia. He said, “It was in the morning around 7:30 – 8am when the two persons were kidnapped. There was no security at the farm that morning. The security operates only at night, not the daytime.”
He confirmed that the victims are staff of the Obasanjo Farm but added that the place has been taken over by Wilma, an Asian company. The two men [names withheld] always go to the farm every day and have a camp at Mfamasong after Anighieje.
The police in Cross River state say they are investigating the incident.
