Prior to the killing of Adejuyigbe, the bandits had abducted a farm owner identified as Solomon Akinmeji in his farm at Okeji farm settlement in Atoka community, a boundary town between Iju in Akure North Local Government and Ikere-Ekiti in Ekiti State.
According to a youth leader in the town, Ayodeji Ogundeji, Akinmeji was during the weekend kidnapped when he went to his while those who went with him escaped with bruises.
Ogundeji disclosed that the incident propelled him to summon youths and some OPC members in the community to organise a search party on Sunday morning in order to locate the Akinmeji and set him free from his abductors.
