Kidnappers Strike in Ogun, Abduct Oba’s Sister

-Ogun State, last week experienced for the first time, the dreaded kidnapping saga as four armed men who disguised as security operatives from the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of the police stormed Efireland in the Ogun Waterside Local Govern-ment Area and whisked away Mrs. Sikirat Lamina (nee Adeniyi). Mrs. Lamina is the elder sister of the traditional ruler of the town, the Elefire of Efire, Oba Musa Adetokunbo Adeniyi, and she is in her late 70s.


Sources told THISDAY last night that the armed men who came in two different motorcycles struck on July 28 at about 10.25pm. They were said to have walked into the house where the aged woman was staying, introduced themselves as operatives from CID and requested to have her come with them to their office.


But before she could raise any question as to why she was needed in their office, the abductors were said to have dragged her out half-naked, carried her onto one of the motorcycles and left for Makun, another part of the state through a flying boat that was already waiting for them on the other end.
The abductors, sources said, left behind two mobile telephone sim cards and later called to disclose their identity as kidnappers, demanding for an initial ransom of N600 million. They later put their victim through on phone to her relatives on Friday night when they called demanding for a reduced ransom of N150million.



Mrs. Lamina, the victim, was said to have told her relatives on phone that though she was being treated well by her abductors but she nursed the fears that she could be hurt because the abductors have consistently threatened to kill her should her people fail to meet their demands.
Sources told THISDAY that the state government had immediately told the family members not to make the incident a media affair as the security operatives had promised to act quickly and put the situation in check. But four days after the abduction of the traditional ruler’s sister, sources said no significant progress appears to have been recorded.


Although, the police were said to have recovered one of the motorcycles that was used to convey Mrs. Lamina to Makun as well as the only wrapper she had on as at the time she was forcefully taken away, suggesting that she must have been taken to Makun stark naked.
Also, about six people were said to have been arrested by the Police in connection with the abduction. The Police are said to have reiterated their promise to get Mrs. Lamina released to her family; but the relatives expressed fear for the life of the elderly woman.
