<\/p>\n

A staff of Osun State College of Technology, Esa-Oke, in Obokun Local Government area of the state, Mr Olaniyi Emmanuel Temitope, was killed on Tuesday by suspected herdsmen, while others were kidnapped at a location known as Eti-Osa.<\/p>\n

DAILY POST gathered that the assailants waylaid those individuals as they were returning home in the evening after the close of work.<\/p>\n

A staff of the school, who simply identified himself as Gbenga, told our reporter that the attack came as a rude shock to the community, as many have left their homes for safety.<\/p>\n

He explained that the slain employee of the school was trying to escape from the scene when he was shot from the rear and died instantly.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe person that was killed was a former Faculty Officer in the school, I saw him driving out of the campus while I was discussing with a colleague at the campus gate.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe gunmen have left the place before we got there but a mechanic around the area who witnessed the incident told us that Mr Olaniyi was trying to escape from those people and he was shot in the process.<\/p>\n

\u201cEverybody is afraid right now, we do not know what could happen next, this is barbaric to say the least \u201c.<\/p>\n
