Governor Ibikunle Amosun

The business man had recently been kidnapped in the state.
After a harrowing bout in the hands of kidnappers, a billionaire, Segun Oyebolu, closed down all his businesses in Ijebu-Ode town of Ogun State and made arrangements to relocate abroad.

Mr. Oyebolu was recently kidnapped and held captive for four days. He had to part with a huge sum of money to regain his freedom.

The money-bag, a non-indigene of Ijebu-Ode, has chains of business within the town including hotels. He also has a foundation that caters for the elderly.

His companies have over a hundred staff on its payroll and his businesses are known to be successful enterprises.

But following the rising insecurity in the town, and his recent ordeal at the hands of kidnappers, Mr. Oyebolu contacted his lawyers to close his businesses and effect the sale of the buildings including his palatial residence.

“The huge building and my personal residence in the town are up for sale already and I have briefed my lawyers to put them on the market and bring me offers” Mr. Oyebolu said.

“I have closed down my operational office at Erinlu, Ijebu-Ode. I similarly called and dismissed all my staff at the Feed the Elderly Foundation in Ijebu-Ode” he added.

Mr. Oyebolu described the level of insecurity in the state as worrisome. He said his mission in the town was to empower people and bring smiles to homes, but with the attack on his life, he will rather leave town.

Mr. Oyebolu’s friends and indigenes of Ijebu-Ode are trying frantically to pacify and encourage him to rescind his decision.

Ogun, a kidnap capital of South West
Last week, another businessman in the town, Safiriyu Araba, popularly called Aranse Oluwa, was kidnapped and is yet to gain freedom from his captors.

Mr. Araba has now joined the retinue of victims who have been kidnapped in the state, which is gradually becoming a kidnap capital in the South West region of the country.

Among the victims was the mother of a member of the House of Representatives, and Vice Chairman House Committee on Internal Security, Abudu Balogun. The elderly Obedatu Abudu spent four days with her captors before she was released late October. The abductors are yet to be found.

Families of the kidnapped victims end up paying huge sums of money as ransom before the victims are released. Many would not disclose how much they paid.

In some instances, people kidnapped from outside the state her brought to Ogun for safe keeping. Such was the case of the wife of the Speaker of the Osun State House of Assembly who was freed in Ogun, and her captors arrested, after being kidnapped in Osun.

afam4eva: It has always been the kidnap capital of the SW while Aba takes the cake for the SE. I think Ogun is benefitting from it's closeness to Lagos in all spheres both positive and negative.

seanet01: Omo it has been reduced since SIA came on board. The man really tried. If you know the number of kidnapping platoons Daniel was breeding, you go scream. They will soon be rail road back to the east where they come.

eGuerrilla:

Daniel was breeding kidnapping platoons recruited from the east?

Why don't eschew the type of reasoning expected from atrophied minds for once and contribute to the discussion meaningfully.

Ogun State Commissioner of Police Ikemefuna Okoye yesterday narrated how Mrs. Muibat Salaam, wife of Osun State House of Assembly Speaker Najeem Salaam, was rescued from her abductors.

Mrs. Salaam was abducted last Tuesday in Ejigbo, Osun State, by gunmen.

She was rescued on Saturday in Ogunmakin, Obafemi Owode Local Government Area of Ogun State.

Speaking with reporters while parading the suspected kidnappers in Eleweran, the Command Headquarters, Okoye said members of the Vigilance Services of Ogun (VSO) noticed the suspicious movement of the kidnappers and their victim and alerted the police.

He said the Fidiwo Police Division deployed men of the Rapid Response Squad (RRS) and plain-clothed policemen in the area, where the suspects were hiding in the bush.

Okoye said: “My men moved into the bush and engaged the suspects in a gun duel, killing one of them. Four were apprehended and the others ran away with bullet wounds.

“It was after we rescued the victim that she told us who she was. Let the record be set straight that the police carried out the rescue operation.”

The suspects are Chukwuma Usifo (28), Chukwudi Okereke (25), Ogbole Elijah and Okonkwo Lucky (27).

Items recovered from the suspects include two AK 47 rifles and four magazines with 87 rounds of ammunition.

Okoye praised members of the VSO for providing information that led to the arrest of the suspects and the rescue of Mrs. Salaam, who has been reunited with her family.

He urged the public to be security-conscious and always alert security agencies when they notice suspicious movements.

How many people from the SW have been arrested for kidnapping in the SE = 0%
How many people from the SE have been arrested for kidnapping in the SW =80% of all kidnappings

You've still not addressed the issues which are these:
1. Most kidnappings occur in the SE. True (it is the biggest industry in Onitsha for instance)
2. 100% of kidnappings in the SE are committed by Igbos. True (this doesn't mean Yorubas don't live in Igbo land)
3. Kidnappings take place in the SW. True
4. Most kidnappings in the SW are committed by Yorubas. False (Since the Yorubas dominate the SW, it is expected that crimes in the region should be committed by Yorubas but when Igbo men and women become criminals in the region, it just only points to one thing.)

Baby mama:

I guess the news items posted shamed you and you are backtracking and devising other arguments
Funny.
Most r.apes and child molestations also occur in the SW by Yorubas can I safely say most Nigerian r.apists are Yoruba
Comparatively which is worse,criminal kidnap for ransom or men sleeping with their daughters and other little girls and impregnating them
2 can play that game,you need to quit
Your backyard stinks just as bad if not worse

You need some measure of reasoning and at least basic logic to understand my post. You can show it to someone else to explain to you

And so sad it's guys from the SE that are mostly behind these crimes

Zeus I: Don't mention, SW do not commit evil neither does it engage in any criminal activities. How dare you call an educated people's enclave a crime scene? It's not fair.
