The proactive efforts of members of the Vigilante Group of Nigeria VGN in Afijio local government area have saved a man from being abducted at gun point from his village home near Awe , Oyo state.
It was gathered that upon hearing gun shots from the scene of the attempted abduction in the early hours of Monday morning, a vigilante living nearby promptly mobilized other members of the group confront the assailants.
According to the VGN Oyo state operations officer, Mr. Oyekola Olaoye, the suspected bandits earlier failed in their attempt to kill a man called Domoso within the same locality but succeeded in carting away his new Honda motorcycle.
