There are reports that a former Secretary to the
Government of the Federation, Chief Olu Falae, has been kidnapped from
his farm in Ondo State.
The
wife of Chief Falae, Mrs Falae confirmed the incident in a telephone
interview but said she was not in the mood to grant an interview on the
matter.
The Public Relations Officer of Ondo State Police Command,
DSP ‘Wole Ogodo, who also confirmed the incident to our correspondent
said that the elder statesman was attacked on his way to his farm in
Ilu-Abo, a village near Akure on Monday afternoon but was not sure if
he was abducted.
He, however, said that his men have been drafted to the area.
The
Police PRO later confirmed that the abductors, suspected to be Fulani
herdsmen, have demanded for a cash sum of 100 Million Naira as ransom
for the septuagenarian to be released.
When Channels Television got to his house in Akure, the gate was locked.
Two
chieftains of the Social Democratic Party (PDP) in Ondo State, who
spoke with newsmen at the entrance of his residence, equally confirmed
the abduction.
