Abductors of
wife to Osun State House of Assembly Speaker, Mr. Najeem Salaam have demanded a
N200m ransom for her release.
It was learnt
that the abductors phoned the Speaker on Wednesday to make the demand while
assuring him that his wife, Muibat would be released as soon as they get the
money.
Though the
Speaker has said he would not comment publicly on the matter, the Osun State
House of Assembly has described the kidnap as “strange, barbaric and criminal”.
A statement by
the Press Secretary to the Speaker, Mr Goke Butikakuro, said the incident might
be aimed at disrupting the peace in
the state.
According to
reports, the six-man gang trailed Muiba who was driving a Honda car from her
shop in Olota’s compound to the Speaker’s residence in Oke Oyo area.
On noticing a
suspicious car behind her, she was said to have quickly alighted at the front of her house and made a
dash into the compound but the gunmen caught up with her and forced her into
their waiting car before speeding off.
So far, the
Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Mrs. Sade Odoro, refused to pick
repeated phone calls to her line by our correspondent.
