"Jackpot" As Kidnappers Kidnap Osun State Speaker Wife
Unknown gunmen in
Ejigbo, Osun State, on Tuesday, kidnapped the wife of the Speaker, Osun
State House of Assembly, Mr Najeem Salaam.
Muiba, the first wife of
the Speaker, was kidnapped in the Bamagay Square area of the town
shortly after she had left her shop where she sold bags of rice,
semovita and groundnut oil.
Her Honda car was
overtaken by the vehicle of a six-member gang. The gang reportedly
forced her Honda car to stop along Union Baptist Road in the Oke-Oyo
area of Ejigbo, the Speaker’s hometown.
Our correspondent learnt
that Muiba, who alighted and attempted to run from the kidnappers, was
stopped and forced into a waiting car.
Chairman, House
Committee on Regional Integration and Special Duties, Mr Femi Fafiyebi,
confirmed the development, saying the news was “shocking.”
“I just heard about it a
few minutes ago. Osun is a very peaceful state. We are the only state
that checked flooding and created the most enabling environment in the
south-west. I don’t know why this should happen in our dear state,”
Fafiyebi said.
Police Public Relations
Officer, Osun Command, Mrs Sade Odoro, who promised to get across to our
correspondent over the development failed to do so.
Her phone was switched off when our correspondent called her back for confirmation.
Our correspondent reports that it is in Odoro’s character to ignore inquiries by journalists over crime matters in the state.
bad tins coming in oooooooo
