Residents feared that the abduction of the victim being an albino, might be related to kidnap for ritual purposes.
A teacher, Mr Adegbenjo of Community High School, Alabata in Akinyele Local Government Area of Oyo State was abducted by gunmen on Wednesday, March 6.
The victim, a secondary school teacher, who is an albino, was kidnapped while trekking towards the school in the early hours of today.
Residents feared that the abduction of the victim being an albino, might be related to kidnap for ritual purposes. Some persons hold the age-long belief that albinos were useful for money attraction hence, their vulnerability to be used for money rituals.
Teachers in the school have called on the state security agencies to act fast in rescuing their colleague before anything unfortunate is done to him.
The state police command is yet to comment on this incident.
