Oyo state of Nigeria has been thrown into disarray as gunmen carried out a gruesome and disturbing operation.
Passengers of a 14-seater bus including a pastor of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Olugbenga Olawore, have been kidnapped in the state.
The cleric and other passengers were reportedly abducted on Friday night in the Maya axis of Lanlate-Eruwa Road.

SP Adewale Osifeso, Oyo State Police Public Relations Officer, confirmed the abduction to journalists on Saturday.
However, the police spokesman said that some of the abductees had been rescued.
