OSOGBO — Barely 24 hours after unknown gunmen kidnapped the wife of the Speaker of the Osun State House of Assembly, Mrs. Muibat Salami, the kidnappers are yet to reach out to the husband of the victim, Hon. Najeem Salami.
Muibat was on Tuesday evening kidnapped in the Bamagay Square area of Ejigbo, Osun State shortly after she had left her shop where she sells bags of rice and other commodities.
It was gathered that the victim’s Honda car was overtaken by the vehicle of a six member gang who forced her out of her car and later forced her into theirs.
When our correspond- ent visited the private residence of the Speaker in Ejigbo yesterday, sympathizers were seen clustering around the compound.
Similarly, spiritual steps are being taken with prayer warriors have been raised by the husband of the victim in order to ‘coarse’ the kidnappers to release their victim.
When contacted for comment, the Speaker made it clear that he would not comment on the incident until the riddles behind the kidnap are unravelled.
Also, the state Commissioner of Police, Mrs. Kalafite Adeyemi has said that the state Police Command is currently investigating the kidnapping cases in the state.
The Commissioner while speaking with newsmen in Osogbo said investigation was on and any headway made would be commu- nicated to the public.
