How Lagos Monarch Was Kidnapped— Wife


The Wife of Oba Yushau Oseni, Oniba Ibaland, the 73-year-old Lagos monarch abducted yesterday, Nofisat, said the Oba was kidnapped at about 8p.m. Saturday, when he was about taking his bath.

It was reported that more than 15 gunmen wearing masks stormed the town. While about six of the kidnappers entered the palace, with the rest mounting strategic locations, including the waterways.

His wife, Nofisat narrated that the Oba was about taking his bath “when we heard the children in the sitting room shouting. We were both in his room; we left in order to caution the children. But we met the gunmen at the entrance of the parlour.

“They asked him if he was the monarch and he answered in affirmative. Immediately, they left the children alone and took him. I tried preventing his kidnap, but one of the gunmen hit me in the neck and I fell.”

The young wife went after the abductors, begging to spare him, but the gunmen shot at her and the 60-year-old palace security guard, Mr. Sunday Okanlawon, who attempted to prevent the kidnap.
