Yet Another Kidnap Has Taken Place In Akure

BARELY two days after a nursing mother who is a reporter with the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) Akure, Olubunmi Oke, was kidnapped in Akure, Ondo State capital, another woman, Ms Kehinde Olusanya, has been abducted by unknown persons in the town.
This is coming just as Oke was released Saturday night, after spending three days with the kidnappers.
She was said to have been released after the payment of  N1million ransom to the kidnappers, who later dropped her along Benin-Ore road.


However, Olusanya was said to have been taken away by a four-man  gang at her Ayedun residence in Akure, in the presence of her twin sister.
She was reportedly kidnapped on Saturday, around 1.00 a.m. after her abductors gained entrance into their apartment and forcefully took her away, as the twin sisters live together and run a boutique and beautician shops inside the Town Hall shopping mall, in Akure.
Olusanya is one of the twins of the late High Chief Josiah Olusanya, the Asamo of Akure and her twin sister is married to a former secretary to Ondo State government, Fioye Bajowa.
The people were said to have taken the victim away to an unknown destination in a car without taking anything from the house.
The victim’s family members are yet to be reached by the kidnappers.
Meanwhile, the Ondo State council of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), in a statement by its chairman, Akin Owanikin, thanked all who supported in securing the release of Oke from the den of the kidnappers.
Owanikin said: “We commend the spirited efforts made by the family and we pray that nothing of such happens in the family and our union again.
“We also use this medium to call on the government and security agencies to step up security of Nigerians.”
