The abducted twins of an Ibadan-based Muslim cleric Alhaji Taofeek Akewugbagold, have been released, according to the popular Oyo Imam.
Akewugbagold disclosed their release in a post on his Facebook page in the early hours of Sunday.
The post reads: “Alhamdulillah! At 5:30 am of Sunday 3rd May, my abducted twin kids were released to me beside a bush after eight days in an unknown land. Thanks to you all for your prayers and support, Jazakumullahu Khairan. Abere mi bo sinu okun, oloun yo pada fun mi.”
The twins were kidnapped at their parents’ home at about 8:30 pm in Ojoo area of Ibadan last Saturday.
Akewugbagold, who hails from Oyo West Local Government, was chairman of the Oyo State Pilgrims Welfare Board (Muslim Wing) during the two-term tenure of the immediate past Governor, Abiola Ajimobi.
