The abducted woman is the mother of a former Commissioner for Agriculture in the state, Chief Bunmi Fasonu.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the incident occurred at about 9 p.m. at No. 35 Ajewole Street, Araromi-Obu, in the presence of two relatives.
A member of the family, Mr Tayo Ikujuni who is a Senior Editor with NAN, said the gunmen, numbering about three, scaled the fence of the house and over-powered the occupants,Daily Independent reports.
According to him, the octogenarian, who is ill with malaria, was taken away by her abductors in a waiting car.
He wondered why anybody would want to disturb the peace of the elderly woman when she was not involved in politics or in any feud with anybody.
Ikujuni said the whereabouts of the woman had yet to be ascertained, adding that the incident had been reported to the Police.
