Four workers of an oil firm have been abducted by suspected kidnappers along the Benin-Akure express road.
The abductors were said to have taken their victims into the forest.
The Nation gathered that the oil workers were going for a training programme in a nearby state when they were abducted.
Driver of the vehicle conveying the oil workers to the training venue was shot, while a woman managed to escape from the scene.
Last week, some boys were arrested within that axis with four AK 47 rifles by the police.
