One suspect was reportedly arrested in the aftermath and handed over to the Byazin Police Station for investigation.
The incident has deepened anxiety among residents, who say kidnapping and other violent crimes have become increasingly frequent in the area.
A resident noted that the latest abduction comes barely three weeks after another victim was kidnapped in the same community and later released after his family reportedly paid a ransom of about N7 million.
As of press time, Oluwale’s whereabouts remain unknown, and security agencies have yet to issue an official statement on the incident.
Residents are calling for stronger security presence and urgent action to curb the rising wave of abductions in the area.
