Gunmen Kidnaps Two Asians From Obasanjo Farms
"Unknown gunmen suspected to be kidnappers had on Friday morning stormed Obasanjo’s farms in Mfamosong, Akamkpa Local Government Area of Cross River State and kidnapped two Asians said to be staff of the Oil Palm Estate.

It was gathered that the kidnappers who were said to have stormed the farm in a taxi, shot sporadically to scare people away from the farm and immediately kidnapped the two persons and took them to a waiting boat near the seaside.

Speaking on the condition of anonymity, a resident of the area narrated that, “Today in Mfamosong, kidnappers came and kidnapped two white men inside the company premises. They came in a taxi to a farm that used to belong to former president, Obasanjo but has been sold out to a Chinese company. The kidnappers drove inside the premises of the company, shooting sporadically and abducted two white men into their taxi and drove straight to the waterside where they put them in a speed boat and left with them,” he stated.

A member of the community said that the kidnappers were yet to make demands and that the victims were of Indonesia and Malaysian origin.

He said, “It was in the morning around 7:30 – 8am when the two persons were kidnapped. There was no security at the farm that morning. The security operates only at night, not the daytime.”

He said that the place where the incident took place belong to Akwa Ikot Effanga and Mfamasong and that the suspected kidnappers must have come from that Akwa Ikot Effanga side.

“They came with a small car and left with a flying boat, the driver of the car hid in the waiting car and there was nobody to pursue them. They were shooting into the air, went inside the premises, kidnapped the men and dashed inside the river” he said.

He said that the victims were staff Obasanjo;s former farm, now taken over by Wilma, a Chinese company, adding that the duo whose names were yet to be known go to the farm everyday.

When the State Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. John Umoh, a Deputy Superintendent of Police was contacted, he said he had not been briefed"
