The workers were inspecting crops on a farm within the institute’s premises when they were taken, according to police spokesperson Olayinka Ayanlade.
Ayanlade confirmed the abduction in a statement issued in Ibadan on Friday.
Police asked anyone with credible information to report to the nearest police station or use the command’s established emergency channels to assist the operation.
