BEVERLY HILLS, July 21, (THEWILL) – Four Turkish nationals were on Saturday night abducted at a local drinking joint at Gbale village, Edu Local Government Area of Kwara State.
The captives, identified as Yasin Colak, 33; Senerapal, 40; Ergun Yurdakul, 35 and Seyit Keklik, 25, were said to be working with Instabul concrete limited, Gbale.
