A nonagenarian, Pa Ajagunna Adalumo, has been kidnapped in his home at Oke-Ijebu in Ikole Ekiti, a family member, Bimbo Ajayi, has said.

The source said Adalumo, 90, is the father of an hotelier in Ikole Ekiti, Oluwole Adalumo.According to her, a man alighted from a car parked in front of the house and approached the nonagenarian in his sitting room on the pretext that his hotelier son sent him to the old man.

``When the supposed visitor came out of the house with the old man, two other men from the car dragged Baba into their car and drove away before people could suspect their mission.``We raised alarm to prevent the abduction of Baba but they got away and we were unable to trace the vehicle,’’ she narrated.

Also, Mr Festus Kolade, a youth in the area, said that the matter was immediately reported at the Police station and a search for the abducted old man was initiated.
