Kehinde Bamigbetan( Ejigbo LCDA Chairman) Kidnapped by miqos02(m): 4:10pm On Apr 16, 2013
Abductors of Ejigbo LCDA Boss Demand N150 Million Ransom

The abductors of the Chairman of Ejigbo Local Council Development Area, (LCDA), Kehinde Oladapo Kolade Bamigbetan have demanded $1 million (about N150 million) as ransom.

The abductors, who got in touch with the wife of the local council boss, said the money must be paid if Mr Bamigbetan is to be released alive.

According to the Secretary to the Local Government, Remi Gbadegesin, the abductors made a call to the wife from Mr Bamigbetan’s phone and demanded the ransom.

The abductors warned Mrs Bamigbetan not to involve the police or play pranks as well as blow the issue out of proportion.

They also warned that any attempt to flout their directive could be grievous.

The LCDA chairman was abducted by four gunmen on his way home from an event, after the close of work on Monday night at about 11pm.

OPC Gets Involved

Meanwhile, the President and Founder, Oodua People’s Congress, Frederick Fasehun, has ordered his members in Lagos and the South-West to collaborate with security operatives to launch a manhunt for Mr Bamigbetan.
Mr Fasehun, who made the call in a statement on Tuesday, demanded the immediate release of the council chairman.
He said, “We just heard about this unfortunate incident, which has filtered through Lagos State and is all over the Internet. Kehinde Bamigbetan is our son, a Yoruba man.
“Whoever touches any Yoruba man touches the apple of OPC’s eye and will pay dearly.”
He asked OPC leaders, including the National Secretary, Dare Adesope, to make phone calls and call meetings with the organisation’s leadership in Ejigbo for information, in order to guarantee Mr Bamigbetan’s safe return to his family.
“We warn whoever is behind this evil act that Bamigbetan must be released unharmed. Not one strand of his hair must be hurt,” he said.
He recalled that OPC had helped secure the release of kidnap victims in the past, saying that Mr Bamigbetan’s kidnappers had made the worst mistake of their evil career.
He said the OPC in October 2012 assisted in the rescue of Muibat, wife of the Speaker, Osun State House of Assembly, resulting in the death of two of her abductors.
Also earlier in September last year, OPC had also launched a silent effort that detected the bodies of slain NNPC engineers earlier sent to effect repairs on vandalised pipelines at Arepo, Ogun State, as well as their suspected killers.
