S ome men suspected to have been hooligans dressed in military uniforms have abducted four tipper drivers from a farm in Ilorin, the state capital, where they went to excavate sand for supply to their customers last Saturday.
The abducted, were members of the Oyun Garage branch of the Association of Quarry and Sand dealers, Ilorin, a source said.

Some women who claimed to be wives of the drivers on Wednesday in Oyun area, Kwara State Polytechnic Road, Ilorin took to the street to solicit for alms from commuters and passersby to raise the ransom.
