Kidnappers have demanded 500 million naira for the release of a recent graduate of the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta (FUNAAB), Adedoja Hannah, and three other people abducted from a farm in Abeokuta, Ogun State, on Tuesday night.


Hannah, a 2026 graduate of the Department of Agricultural Administration, was seized alongside three farm workers, including a driver, at RagerPablo Farms in Akintobi, Alabata, according to reports by Punch and Daily Post.


    • The gunmen reportedly lay in wait at the farm entrance and opened fire on a vehicle as the gate opened
    • The FUNAAB Students' Union Government disclosed the ransom demand in an update on Thursday
    • Ogun Police spokesperson DSP Oluseyi Babaseyi has confirmed the abduction

How the FUNAAB farm abduction happened


Reports say the attackers struck on Tuesday night as the victims were at work on the farm, firing on a vehicle shortly after the entrance gate was opened before taking the four away.


Hannah's phone has been switched off since the incident. The students' union said the matter was reported to security agencies on Tuesday and that police have been handling it since then.


Circulating reports said the abductors gave the victims' associates 24 hours to produce the money, with further contact expected by Wednesday night. That detail comes from social-media reporting of the demand and has not been officially confirmed.


What the police and the students' union are saying


Ogun State Police Public Relations Officer DSP Oluseyi Babaseyi confirmed the abduction and assured that security operatives are working to rescue the victims.


The FUNAAB Students' Union Government, which confirmed Hannah's abduction in a statement on its X handle, expressed grave concern for the safety of all four victims in its Thursday update disclosing the ransom demand.


What happens next


Police say rescue efforts are under way. The identities of the other three victims have not been officially released.


NewsTweetNaija will update this story as the police or the university confirm new developments.
