Seyi Olaoluwa, a daughter of Dr. Femi
Omisore, one of the several persons
kidnapped in Ekiti State, has debunked the
story of the Police, regarding the release of
the kidnap victims on Saturday.
Olaoluwa specifically accused the Police,
which claimed to have rescued the 10 victims
freed on Saturday morning, of lying.
Omisore, a lecturer in Obafemi Awolowo
University, Ile Ife, was kidnapped penultimate
Saturday on his way to Oye Ekiti, for a funeral
ceremony. His driver was killed by the
abductors while the hoodlums shot at the fuel
tank of the car until the car went up in
flames.
A version of the release of the kidnappers
have said the Vigilance group in Esure Ekiti
rescued the victims while the police, through
their Force Public Relations Officer,
Emmanuel Ojukwu, claimed to have rescued
the victims while an unspecified number of
the kidnappers were arrested.
Olaoluwa, who spoke to our correspondent on
the telephone on Saturday, denied that the
victims, including his father, were released by
the kidnappers after the relations of all the
victims had paid the specified amount of
ransom charged by the kidnappers.
She said, “It’s a lie. They were not rescued
by anybody. The vigilantes did not rescue
them; we paid ransom. Everybody paid
ransom before they were released.
“We paid ransom on Wednesday. My bother
was the one that took the ransom to Benin
Road. The people said we should come to
Akure. When they got Akure, they asked them
to come towards Benin Road. They used the
phone to trail them until they got to
somewhere nearly Benin.
“They directed them towards a forest before
Benin, where they showed them the money
some of the victims’ relations had paid. Theyj
were so confident that they said every body
must pay before the victims would be
released. We paid our own on Wednesday.
“So, I believe that it was when all the
relations of the victims had paid that they
decided to release them. For the police to
claim to have released them is not true.”
Olaoluwa did not however specify how much
was paid for Omisore’s release.
