Olayemi detailed that the bandits initially kidnapped Alabelewe, his wife, and three of his children, along with a girl staying with them. However, they later released the girl and one child, taking Alabelewe, his wife, and two children. The attackers forcibly entered the house by breaking doors and windows and scaling the fence.
