The impression created by the Nigerian Police that the for­mer minister of finance and chieftain of Afenifere, Chief Olu Falae was released by his abductors without paying ransom has been rebuffed.

According to the SUN, a family member of the elder statesman said contrary to the claim by the police authorities, ransom was paid before Chief Fa­lae was eventually released.

The family source also berated the Inspector-Gen­eral of Police, Mr Solo­mon Arase of claiming the glory for Falae’s release saying the police boss just came to Ondo for jamboree “because Police did not have any input in Baba’s release.”

He regained his freedom after spending four days in the kidnappers’ den..

“I wonder why people don’t investigate well be­fore talking. It will be very unfair to give any kudos to the police over Chief Fa­lae’s release having being held hostage for four days.

“If we relied on Police to rescue Baba and ignored his abductors on the ran­som they demanded by now we would have been telling another story. But we thank God our Baba came back alive.”

The source did not disclose the actual amount paid but said the family had to appeal to the hoodlums to spare Falae’s life saying the kidnappers threatened seriously.

“So, in this kind of de­velopment, we should wait and be listening to the po­lice? My brother, forget. As far as I know, the police didn’t play any role in his release. The family played ball with the abductors, and they took him back to his farm where he was kid­napped and dropped him there. “Baba even said it when he got home that af­ter the abductors had con­cluded their arrangements with his family, they took him back to his farm at Ila­do and dropped him there.
“Baba said when his abductors dropped him, he trekked several kilo­meters from his farm to a hotel in owo where he met some policemen and in­troduced himself as Chief Olu Falae. That was how the Police got to know of his release and hijacked the whole process as if they are the one who rescued him. Only an unreasonable person will still give kudos to the police for the Chief’s release. We know who and who we should thank, not the police,” the furious family source said.

And the police are all over the place screaming to make us know they rescued him.

Police is your friend

our police and military men can lie!i guess itz part of their training.

This is wrong... Publicly declaring that they paid a ransome for his release will end up encouraging the crime of kidnapping in that state.

That was very obvious with the lackadaisical attitude of our so called security men

People get kidnapped everyday and ransoms paid only the high profiles are reported

may God be our guide in this country!!

Fvck the police!

The lying IG. Hav taken a cue frm lai muhammed and Apc... Hw can the police get the culprits wen chief of hausa fulani is in aso rock... Twisted country

Gbam!

englishmart:
is it right to pay ransom?

When your are left with no option at the mercy of stone hearted criminals due to lack of adequate security

what will you do for your loved one?

Again the trutht has arrived to clear some smoky areas from the police report and also shame these ever incompetent security agencies we have which is becoming worse everyday.

The IG is an APC card carrying member..Always lying.
